Homefront

Homefront automates convenience in online shopping by connecting user accounts with major retailers such as Amazon, Instacart, and Walmart. The system analyzes order history and supports automated reordering based on that analysis.

Business Problem
Manual reordering across multiple retailers is repetitive and easy to miss. The product needed reliable account automation, accurate order parsing, and a local Rails data model that could drive reorder decisions.

Main Features
- Account connection flows for Amazon, Instacart, and Walmart
- Ruby on Rails bot automation using Selenium WebDriver
- Order history and item parsing through network traffic APIs
- Synchronization of parsed order details into a local Rails database
- Automated ordering behavior based on ordering analysis
- Conversion of earlier Python scripting approaches into a Ruby implementation

Technical Challenges & Solutions
Retailer sites change frequently and protect against automation. Reliable parsing depended on a mix of Selenium-driven flows, network traffic API analysis, and resilient data syncing into Rails.

Impact
Homefront reduced manual reordering effort by turning retailer order history into structured Rails data and automation-ready ordering workflows.
