I design and build APIs that help websites, apps, and business tools share data reliably, with clear endpoints and sensible error handling.
API Engineering
I design and build RESTful APIs that share data reliably, feature comprehensive request validation, and are easy for frontend teams to consume.
Designing clean endpoints with consistent JSON payloads, correct HTTP status codes, and built-in validation.
Connecting your system to external platforms like Stripe, Salesforce, Xero, HubSpot, and custom client APIs.
Building secure webhook endpoints and event systems to keep database records synchronized across services.
Securing APIs using OAuth2, Laravel Sanctum, or custom API keys with rate-limiting to prevent abuse.
Integration Toolkit
I leverage high-performance web servers, queuing protocols, and testing suites to build backend integrations that scale under load.
Standardized API contracts that document all endpoints, request params, and response codes.
A beautiful dashboard and configuration system for Redis-powered queues to monitor webhook retries.
For testing API flows, mock servers, and automated integration checks.
Industry standard tokens for secure authorization between web services, mobile apps, and servers.
For real-time error tracking and alerting, making it easy to identify and fix failed API calls.
For making reliable external requests with built-in retries, timeouts, and concurrent fetching.
API FAQ
I document APIs using OpenAPI/Swagger or Postman collections. This provides clear instructions, example payloads, and authentication steps for other developers.
I offload external API calls to background queues (e.g. via Redis/Horizon). This keeps user-facing page loads fast while syncing data asynchronously.
I use SSL enforcement, request validation, rate-limiting, IP whitelisting where appropriate, and token-based authentication (like OAuth2 or Sanctum) to block unauthorized access.
