I helped build a web-based marketing funnel for enrolling customers in a subscription-based or one-time payment renewable energy credit (REC) product. Customers could select one of a several recurring or one-time pricing plans.

The usage would be used for calculating the number of RECs to purchase on behalf of the customer to offset their electric usage with clean energy.Front-end web development: Remix, React, Typescript, Tailwind CSS, Stripe, Commercetools, Arcadia Arc, Contentful, Twilio Segment, vitest, Playwright, Cucumber.jsAPI development: AWS serverless technologies (Lambda, EventBridge, DynamoDB, AppSync), AWS CDK v2, Typescript, Python, AWS SDK v3, Jest
