The Problem
When your systems need to talk to each other or external platforms, standard integrations often fall short:
- No existing integration: The platforms you need to connect don’t have native support
- Limited API capabilities: Built-in APIs don’t expose the data or functionality you need
- Custom business logic: Standard integrations can’t handle your specific requirements
- Legacy system connection: Older systems need modern API interfaces
- Third-party access: External partners need controlled access to your data
Without custom APIs, teams resort to manual data transfer or build fragile workarounds.
How I Solve It
I build custom APIs that expose exactly the data and functionality you need:
RESTful API Development
- Clean, well-documented endpoints following REST conventions
- Authentication and authorization appropriate to your security requirements
- Rate limiting and access control for third-party consumers
- Versioning for backward compatibility
Webhook Systems
- Event-triggered notifications to external systems
- Retry logic for reliable delivery
- Payload customization for different consumers
- Logging and monitoring for troubleshooting
Integration Layers
- APIs that bridge incompatible systems
- Data transformation between different formats
- Aggregation endpoints combining data from multiple sources
- Caching layers for performance optimization

Common API Scenarios
Internal System Integration
- Custom APIs connecting website to internal databases
- Regional pricing systems with multi-currency support
- Inventory and product data for mobile applications
- Customer portal APIs for self-service functionality
External Platform Connection
- APIs for fintech platform queue systems and transaction processing
- ERP integration endpoints for order and inventory sync
- CRM connection for customer data flow
- LMS integration for course enrollment and tracking
Partner and Third-Party Access
- Controlled data access for business partners
- Webhook notifications for real-time updates
- Embedded functionality for external applications
The Outcome
Your systems communicate seamlessly through well-designed APIs. New integrations become possible without modifying core systems. External partners access the data they need through controlled, documented endpoints. The API layer becomes infrastructure you can build upon.
