The problem
Staff copy data between two systems because the systems do not talk to each other. The transfer is repetitive, easy to miss, and hard to monitor when something goes wrong.
Common examples
- Pull records from one API and create or update them in another system.
- Schedule a nightly data sync with retries and a failure report.
- Map inconsistent field names and formats between two applications.
- Collect permitted API data into a spreadsheet or database.
- Add logging and alerts around an existing integration.
What you receive
- A working integration or scheduled sync.
- Field mapping and transformation rules.
- Logging and a clear failure path for rejected records.
- Setup notes and a short handover.
What I need from you
- API documentation or the endpoints involved.
- Sandbox credentials shared through a secure method, never in chat or source control.
- The direction of the sync and how conflicts should be resolved.
- Expected volume, schedule, and acceptable failure behavior.
Scope and limits
- Third-party APIs can change or enforce limits outside my control.
- I cannot bypass access controls or terms of service.
- Credentials must be shared securely and rotated by the client.
- Some integrations require a paid vendor plan or administrator access.
How it works
-
01
Assess
We start with the process, sample inputs, and the outcome you need. I confirm whether the work is a good fit before quoting.
-
02
Agree on scope
We agree on the deliverable, assumptions, limitations, and how changes will be handled.
-
03
Build
I build the smallest reliable solution that solves the problem, with clear checkpoints rather than a long silent stretch.
-
04
Test
The solution is checked against representative samples, including edge cases and rejected records.
-
05
Deliver
You receive the working files, a short handover, and clear next steps for running or maintaining the solution.
