⪼ Made with 💜 by Polyglot.
Anyone who has written software for the travel industry can tell you that it is in desperate need of innovation — shockingly many of their cobwebbed systems were built in the 70s.
Today we speak with Duffel CEO Steve Domin, who is building tech that can finally align travel with the expectations of modern consumers.
We open by exploring Steve’s journey into coding before diving into how Duffel is innovating travel. After touching on how the pandemic has impacted Duffel’s roll-out, Steve shares horror stories about the outdated tech and API systems that airlines use.
We discuss Duffel’s service offerings and why Elixir is uniquely suited to solve the problems that Steve’s company is addressing.
Steve then talks about the types of engineers that Duffel hires, his client base, and where his company is heading. Near the end of the episode, we ask Steve for his advice on selling your company on Elixir and we chat about the status of the London Elixir Meetup.
Tune in for more insights on how Steve is using Elixir to make travel an effortless experience.
