APIs and Integrations That Do Not Break at Midnight
Well-documented endpoints, sensible errors, versioned from day one.
Most business systems fail at the seams rather than in the middle. The website cannot see live stock, the accounts package needs manual re-entry, the CRM and the billing system disagree about who is a customer, and somebody spends two hours every Friday reconciling exports. Integration work is unglamorous and it removes more waste than almost anything else you can buy.
I build APIs and connectors designed for the day something goes wrong — because it will. That means idempotent operations so a retry does not double-charge anyone, queued jobs with backoff when the far end is down, structured logs that show exactly which payload failed, and alerts that reach a human. An integration that silently stops is worse than no integration at all.
What is included
REST API development
Versioned, authenticated, rate-limited APIs with OpenAPI documentation your partners can actually use.
GraphQL APIs
A single flexible endpoint for clients that need to shape their own queries without a dozen bespoke routes.
Payment gateway integration
Razorpay, PhonePe, Cashfree, PayU, Stripe and PayPal with webhook verification and reconciliation reporting.
Accounting and GST connectors
Two-way Tally and Zoho Books sync, GST e-invoice IRN generation and e-way bill automation.
Messaging and notifications
WhatsApp Business API, SMS gateways, transactional email and push notification dispatch with delivery tracking.
Legacy and partner integration
Connecting to SOAP services, FTP drops, fixed-width files and whatever the other side insists on using.
Why it is worth doing properly
- Manual re-entry between systems disappears, along with the errors it caused
- Retries and idempotency keys prevent duplicate charges and duplicate records
- Documentation your other vendors can work from without calling me
- Monitoring and alerts so a broken connector is noticed in minutes, not weeks
Technology used
Chosen to suit the project and your team, not to pad an invoice.
From first call to launch
The same seven steps on every project, so you always know what happens next.
Discovery call
A straight conversation about what the business does, what is not working and what success looks like. No slide deck. If I am not the right fit for the project, I will say so here rather than three weeks in.
45-60 minutesWritten scope and fixed quote
You get a document listing exactly what will be built, what is excluded, the timeline in milestones and a fixed price. Nothing starts until you have read it and agreed. The scope is yours to keep either way.
2-4 daysDesign you can click
Wireframes first for structure, then visual design. For websites you approve a working page in the browser rather than a flat image, so what you sign off is genuinely what gets built.
1-2 weeksBuild in visible milestones
Development runs in two-week milestones on a staging URL you can open any time. You see progress as it happens instead of receiving a status report about work you cannot verify.
2-16 weeksTesting and your review
Cross-browser and mobile testing, speed and security checks, and a review round where your team uses the system properly and lists what needs changing before launch.
3-7 daysLaunch and handover
Deployment, analytics and Search Console setup, a walkthrough recording for your team, documentation, and full credentials handed over. You own everything, including the source code.
1-2 daysSupport after launch
A warranty period covering any bugs at no charge, then an optional maintenance plan for updates, backups, monitoring and new features. No lock-in either way.
