Experience
Denied Party List APIs
These APIs are responsible for customer screening against a denied party list provided by a SaaS vendor system, making sure the organization is fully compliant with US government regulations during the order process.
I participated in the architecture discussions and was entirely responsible for the development.

Candidate Push
These API-led integrations enable the reuse of communication channels between an organization's internal systems and 3rd-party applicant tracking systems (ATS). They also allow the organization to keep track of all the flowing data, leveraging their internal logging system. We developed interfaces allowing the organization to send candidates' information to more than six different applicant tracking systems that are still in production.
Employee Expense Receipt Synchronization
Handled the analysis, design, development, testing, documentation, deployment, and monitoring of MuleSoft applications to move expense receipts PDF files from SAP Concur to Google Drive so that financial analysts could leverage them for their daily activities.
