01Problem

Several products integrated directly against third-party providers, duplicating authentication, retry and error handling in each codebase.

02Approach

Integration concerns were consolidated into a single service with explicit contracts, idempotent operations and observable failure paths.

03Solution

A documented internal API with provider adapters, retry and backoff policy, structured logging and health reporting.

04Contribution

  • Service architecture and contract definition
  • Provider adapters and failure handling
  • Observability, logging and alerting
  • Technical documentation for consuming teams

05Technology

  • Node.js
  • TypeScript
  • Queueing
  • Structured logging
  • OpenAPI

06Outcome

Integration logic is maintained once rather than in every product. Replace this section with verified, owner-supplied outcome data.

09Contact

Let's build something useful.

Engagements begin with a conversation about the problem, the constraints and what delivery actually needs to look like.
