Experience

Headless Solution for Dell Comparison

I developed the back end of the headless Drupal solution for the Dell comparison website. This included connecting to several external APIs to get information about images, products, and markets; daily downloads of all images; and importing products to the Drupal multisite. To enable this without overloading all the sites, I created several consecutive jobs. I also created custom API endpoints for the React front end according to the specific needs of the front-end developers.
