ACTnow is a nonprofit created with the purpose of providing COVID-19 test kits to those in need. I worked with a remote development team to design and deploy an Angular web app with an online store and capabilities for providing free test kits.

• I collaborated with senior developers to implement payments with PayPal APIs, inventory management using ShipBob, and emailing list through sendgrid.

• One of my roles was to create a form for users to request free test kits. I designed and implemented a reactive form using DOM events and unidirectional data flow to create a request object and send it to our backend.

• I created email templates to be sent to users through different points of the ordering process.

• I redesigned the sites layout for a more intuitive flow as well as creating CSS for the mobile website.
