Experience
MuleSoft Custom Connector
Seamless Oracle Endeca Integration Plugin
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
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.
