API development & integration
Connect your application to the systems it depends on.
REST API development and third-party integrations using Laravel, Node.js, and PHP, including authentication, webhooks, and business automation.
Useful outcomes.

purpose
Make your systems work together.
The details that make the difference.
A useful integration carries information between systems while keeping permissions, validation, and failure handling understandable. I design and connect APIs for web applications, third-party services, and internal business tools.
The work can cover a new API for your frontend, an integration with an existing provider, or improvements to an unreliable connection. We begin with the information that needs to move and the business action it supports.
Common integration work.
Application APIs
Endpoints for frontend workflows, with request validation, authentication, access rules, and consistent responses.
Third-party services
Payment gateways, email providers, and AI APIs connected through your backend, with credentials kept out of the browser.
Webhooks and automation
Event-driven updates between systems, with attention to delivery failures, repeated events, and the state of each operation.
Design the contract before the connection.
I review the provider documentation, authentication requirements, relevant data, and limits before planning the integration. We agree request and response formats and identify which operations need to happen immediately and which can run in the background.
For incoming events, the design considers how to verify the sender and handle duplicate deliveries. For outgoing requests, I account for timeouts, rate limits, and errors so the application can explain what happened and recover appropriately.
Testing covers valid requests, invalid input, missing permissions, and provider failures. Handover can include endpoint documentation, sample requests, and configuration notes appropriate to your team.
Adding AI to an existing workflow.
An AI feature needs a clear place in the product: drafting a support response, classifying a request, or helping a user find relevant information. I connect model APIs to application workflows with the surrounding access controls, request handling, and user feedback.
My portfolio includes an AI Live Chatbot Agent built with Node.js and Express.js, combining automated replies with an admin handoff. The application workflow remains central when deciding which actions should be automated.
What I need to scope an integration.
- The systems you want to connect and the data involved
- Available API documentation and a description of your access
- Expected request volume and how quickly updates are needed
- Examples of the workflow, including failure cases that matter to your users
