In 2005 Orbitz decided to build a new, improved technology platform drawing on the lessons learned from its predecessor. Elegant, flexible, and extensible, it was designed to be the future of Orbitz. InformationWeek even wrote an article about it. On the UI layer (mine), it lived up to many of these promises, and I'm proud of my involvement!

My contributions included:

• Initial build-out of My Trips, Trip Details, and Disambiguate pages
• CSS file organization and refactoring (including making them validate)
• Full site rebranding (reskinning) in two weeks
• Search form improvements and bug fixes
