Goals

Build a dynamic API and front-end system to validate, display, and track Forbes Travel Guide Award redemptions — while also powering a flexible e-commerce experience for associated product sales with tiered restrictions.

Contributions

Architected API and UI to interface with award redemption and e-commerce flows. Designed Airtable-based database for ingesting and validating award data. Developed front-end logic to conditionally display and restrict options per property, award level, and product type. Built UI for pulling associated product data across multiple tiers (4-star, 5-star, unrestricted) with handling, airing, and lookup systems. Implemented post-checkout database updates to lock redemptions and sync product purchasing logic across store platforms.

Outcomes

Seamless redemption experience tailored to property type and award level. Unified interface for controlled product sales linked to award eligibility. Secure, automated validation and tracking across award and e-commerce systems. Scalable solution supporting multiple store platforms and future cycles.
