I'm Hari, a technical product leader with 12 years in travel and aviation tech. I scope the problem with you like a product lead, then build and ship it myself. It's for tour operators, DMCs and travel-tech teams with an AI idea that has been sitting on the roadmap for months.

The gap is rarely the AI model. It's picking a problem that moves a business number, connecting it to your own data and systems, and keeping it reliable once real customers depend on it.

Custom trip requests eat your team's day. Someone builds the itinerary, prices it against contracted rates in a spreadsheet, writes it up, then revises it. And the client often books with whoever replies first.
By email or web form, in whatever words the client uses.
Built from your own products, partner hotels and suppliers, not the open internet.
Contracted rates, seasons and your margin rules, straight from the sheets you already keep.
A branded proposal in your tone of voice. Nothing goes out without a person approving it.
Fixed scope, fixed price, agreed before any work starts.
We pick one problem. I build a working prototype on your real data, and you get a build plan with a fixed quote. If it doesn't show value, you stop there.
I turn the prototype into a production feature or app your team and customers can rely on.
AI models get retired and APIs change. I keep it running and keep improving it with your team.
More travellers plan with AI assistants. I connect your inventory through the Model Context Protocol (MCP) so they can find and book you there.
An AI planner built only from your own products, based on what I built and run for the Wanderverse.ai app.
The right add-on at the right moment, during booking or before the trip. This is what I did for airlines at AERQ and Safran.
Supplier emails, booking confirmations and travel documents: the repetitive admin that eats your team's week.
I designed, built and shipped a generative-AI travel app on my own. It's live on the App Store and Google Play and turns a few preferences into a day-by-day itinerary.
Since launch I've also run it in production, including moving it to new AI models when the provider retired the old ones.
I scope the problem and build the solution myself, so nothing gets lost between people.
You know what you get and what it costs before we start. Changes are priced openly.
You own what I build. GDPR-conscious by default, and happy to sign an NDA and a DPA.
Based in Berlin, working with teams across Europe and beyond. English, with basic French and German.
Alongside projects, I take on contract and fractional roles: technical product lead, AI product manager, or product lead for travel and aviation platforms. Remote-first, contracted B2B through Wanderverse.ai UG.
I started as a mobile engineer, moved into product at a startup in Paris, and spent most of my career as a technical product manager on in-flight entertainment and connected-aircraft platforms at PaxLife, Safran Passenger Innovations and AERQ, an LG × Lufthansa venture. A lot of that work was about making money from the passenger experience: in-flight shopping, app marketplaces and ancillary revenue.
In 2025 I founded Wanderverse.ai and built an AI trip planner end to end. Now I help other travel companies get their own AI ideas out of the slide deck and into production.
Mostly. Travel and aviation is where my experience makes the biggest difference. I'm happy to talk about adjacent work in hospitality, mobility or consumer apps.
One person who owns the problem and can give a few hours across the week, sample data (for quoting, around ten past requests and your rate sheet), and read access to any system we need to connect to.
Usually, if the system has an API or can export data. I've already integrated travel booking APIs such as Viator and Tiqets, so this is familiar ground. We check your system during the sprint, before you commit to a build.
Whatever fits the problem, chosen for output quality, cost and data protection. I design things so the model can be swapped, because providers retire models more often than most teams expect.
You do. The work is delivered into your own repository and cloud account, and your data stays yours.
Yes, both. I'm based in Germany and work with GDPR in mind from the first call.
Pick a time that suits you. The first call is free and takes 30 minutes. You'll get an honest view on whether it's worth building.
