• Payment gateway connectors (Stripe, iATS, Chargent, eWay).
• Formula syntax checker and highlighter.
• Charts module to visualize statistics of form submissions and response fields.

• Automatic generation of construction documentation.

As part of my job at Fullepic, I developed a WordPress plugin that integrates with Detroit Trading API and allows users to sell leads to car dealers in the US.

What it does:
• Adds shortcodes that allow to render entry and lead forms in WordPress pages, header, footer, or sidebar.
• Logs every API request made to Detroit Trading API.
• Imports and updates Detroit Trading CSV files listing car make/model/year/style.
• Runs a background task that calls a time-consuming API to sell leads generated via form submissions.
• Logs all form submissions for statistics.
