My Role
Built the warranty simulator frontend with React, including the license plate input form, dynamic quote calculation logic, and the complete subscription checkout flow. Developed the Node.js API endpoints that process vehicle data and return real-time pricing based on coverage parameters.
Challenges & Solutions
The primary challenge was building a real-time quote engine that could instantly calculate accurate warranty pricing based on multiple vehicle parameters while handling API latency gracefully. This was addressed by implementing optimistic UI updates with loading states, caching frequent vehicle profiles, and using debounced API calls to prevent excessive requests during user input.
