Forbes Travel Guide
This project demonstrates my ability to develop an application for validating redemption codes and retrieving associated travel award details. When users enter a redemption code, the application verifies it and displays the award level for hotels, spas, restaurants, or cruise ships. The frontend is built on OMG's platform, using .liquid templates and JavaScript to create a dynamic user experience. Data is stored in Airtable and accessed via a custom middleware server for secure and efficient handling.
Goals
- Build a frontend application on OMG's platform to validate redemption codes and display award details.
- Develop a secure middleware server to manage data retrieval and interactions with Airtable.
- Ensure a seamless and intuitive user experience with responsive design and efficient workflows.
