Experience

Cheap Purchases

Created a Python app to compute the most optimal pricing for AGD items based on a promotion strategy provided by a store. The promotion strategy goes as follows:

• One item equals a 0% promotion on Chipest
• Two items equal a 33% promotion on Chipest
• Three items equal a 55% promotion on Chipest
• Four items equal a 70% promotion on Chipest
• Five items equal a 99% promotion on Chipest

Based on this, I created three different groups of purchases and made more savings on AGD items for the store. I crawled the web for some of the data using Selenium.
