Experience

MuleSoft Custom Connector

A custom connector that monitors database activity and triggers real-time CRUD event responses on the MuleSoft platform. Unlike scheduled jobs, it ensures instant data synchronization, enabling seamless and event-driven integration for improved efficiency and responsiveness.

Seamless Oracle Endeca Integration Plugin

One of the most impactful projects I developed was an integration plugin designed to resolve compatibility issues between Oracle Endeca and a client’s website. The challenge arose because the website utilized AJAX-based URLs, which conflicted with Endeca’s requirement for traditional URL structures to ensure SEO optimization and seamless system integration.

To address this, I built a middleware solution that dynamically converted AJAX-based URLs into standard URLs, preserving Endeca’s functionality while enabling efficient navigation and search indexing. This solution included designing a custom URL-mapping engine and optimizing API interactions to enhance performance and reduce latency.

The plugin significantly improved cross-platform compatibility, enhanced search engine visibility, and streamlined user navigation—ultimately driving higher engagement, improved indexing, and greater system stability.

Optimizing System Integration | Designing Reusable SAP APIs for Data Consistency and Efficiency

I led the design and implementation of reusable APIs derived from SAP BAPIs, enabling seamless consumption across multiple channels, including mobile and web, to enhance system integration. This initiative emerged during a client’s integration modernization effort, where multiple business APIs within SAP were found to have redundant functionalities and duplicated datasets across business units.

To resolve this inefficiency, I spearheaded the development of a centralized, reusable API framework, eliminating data and logic duplication while ensuring consistency and scalability. By making this optimized API architecture available to all business units, we enhanced data integrity, streamlined workflows, and reduced integration complexity, ultimately improving system efficiency and maintainability.
