Hani is a Paris-based travel tech startup that set out to transform how travelers experience cities. The founders, Harry Sevi and Nicolas Richard, envisioned an app that could guide visitors through Paris based on their personal interests, offering recommendations that feel local, not generic.
We partnered with Hani to design and build a mobile platform that delivers curated travel experiences in real time. By combining user-generated preferences with Hani’s proprietary travel database, the system ensures that every journey through Paris feels tailored, intuitive, and deeply connected to the city’s culture.

Hani’s goal was to create a platform that could understand travelers as individuals while managing data at scale. Delivering this vision required solving several challenges:
This meant the platform had to balance technical sophistication with cultural sensitivity, combining robust engineering with human-centered design.

Our team began with research into traveler behavior and expectations, shaping a design that mirrors the rhythm of exploring a city. From preference selection to recommendation delivery, every interaction was crafted to feel natural and personalized.
We engineered a cloud-native system on AWS, leveraging Terraform for infrastructure-as-code and Docker for containerization, ensuring scalability and smooth deployment. The backend, built with NestJS, TypeScript, and PostgreSQL, powers real-time recommendation engines that process location data and user preferences instantly.
For the Hani operations team, we developed a ReactJS-based web portal to manage content, track user engagement, and analyze platform insights. This data-driven backend allows for continuous optimization of experiences and faster iteration cycles.
Accessibility and inclusivity guided the design process throughout. The mobile interface was optimized for diverse users, ensuring intuitive navigation and delightful interactions across devices.
