TruBooker— Multi-Role Transport Booking Platform
Frontend Engineer
Overview
TruBooker is Nigeria's first multi-role transport management platform — allowing bus corporations and independent drivers to list vehicles, sell tickets, and manage schedules, while agents earn through referrals and passengers book journeys in under a minute. I architected and built four separate application surfaces under a single unified design system.
The Challenge
Architecting a multi-role transport platform serving four distinct user types — passengers, drivers, agents, and admins — each with separate application surfaces, GPS-integrated workflows, and real-time scheduling under a unified design system.
Architecture Pattern
Multi-app role architecture · GPS real-time tracking · Shared component system · Optimistic state updates · Referral earnings engine · API error boundary handling
What I Built
Admin Dashboard
- Built real-time driver and trip management with live GPS tracking via Google Maps API.
- Developed revenue tracking across ticket sales, agent commissions, and corporate accounts.
- Implemented driver performance management — trip history, ratings, and incident logging.
- Created user management tools to handle passengers, agents, drivers, and corporate accounts.
Agent Web App
- Built a referral system allowing agents to invite passengers and earn commissions per booking.
- Integrated agent wallet management — earnings accumulation and bank withdrawal requests.
- Created an earnings dashboard tracking revenue, referral history, and commission breakdowns.
Passenger Booking App
- Built a mobile-first ticket booking flow — route search, seat selection, and payment in under 60 seconds.
- Integrated Paystack for local currency (NGN) payments with a smooth checkout experience.
- Implemented trip history, e-ticket generation, and boarding pass display.
Shared Component System
- Designed a reusable UI component library shared across all four app surfaces.
- Implemented form validation, state caching, and API error boundary handling globally.
- Built a consistent design token system — spacing, typography, and colour — applied across apps.
Performance Optimisation
- Leveraged Next.js SSR and SSG for landing pages and marketing surfaces.
- Used Redux Toolkit with RTK Query for efficient server-state management and cache invalidation.
- Implemented optimistic UI updates on booking actions to eliminate perceived latency.
- Lazy-loaded Google Maps and GPS-dependent modules to keep initial bundle lean.
