Service — API design & integrations

APIs other teams can build on.

An API is a promise you have to keep for years. We design them so the second consumer does not force a rewrite, and integrate the ones you do not control so their bad days stay their bad days.

API design and contracts

The interface is the part you cannot quietly change later. It deserves the design time.

REST or GraphQL shaped around the domain, specified before implementation, and versioned so existing clients keep working.

  • Schema-first specs reviewed before a line of handler code
  • Explicit versioning and deprecation windows
  • Generated clients and documentation from the same source

Third-party integrations

Every external system will be slow, wrong, or down at some point. Design for that and it becomes routine.

Payment providers, CRMs, logistics, identity — connected with retries, idempotency, and reconciliation so a partner outage does not corrupt your data.

  • Idempotency keys and replay-safe handlers on every write path
  • Backoff, circuit breaking, and dead-letter handling
  • Reconciliation jobs that detect and repair divergence

Service-to-service communication

Microservices only help if the contracts between them are stricter than the ones inside them.

Internal boundaries, events, and queues defined so services can be changed independently instead of released as one lump.

  • Event schemas registered and validated at the boundary
  • Queues and retries sized to real throughput
  • Tracing across hops so a slow request can be attributed

Engineering Principles

Three things we hold to.

How we approach every engagement — the non-negotiables that keep systems maintainable, compliant, and buildable.

RULE 01 // FOUNDATION

Specify before you build

The contract is agreed and reviewed first. Implementation follows the spec, not the reverse.

Enforced in architecture review
RULE 02 // EXECUTION

Assume the other side fails

Timeouts, retries, and reconciliation are part of the first version, not a later hardening pass.

Verified in automated CI pipeline
RULE 03 // GOVERNANCE

Documentation is generated

Docs come from the schema so they cannot drift away from what the API actually does.

Engagement Outcomes

Production deliverables you own from day one.

Every engagement produces tangible codebases, automated pipelines, and operational specs your internal team actually runs.

DEL-01PRODUCTION CODE

Production Web Architecture

Full TypeScript React/Next.js product application built with strict schema validation, responsive state, and role-based permissions.

  • Clean Git history with semantic commits
  • Full end-to-end runtime & type safety
  • Edge-optimized data fetching & caching
DEL-02DESIGN SYSTEM

Enterprise Component Library

Documented component system enforcing consistent typography, spacing, accessible color contracts, and micro-interactions.

  • WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility compliance
  • Storybook / isolated component docs
  • Zero-runtime CSS token architecture
DEL-03PERFORMANCE

Core Web Vitals Harness

Automated performance instrumentation guaranteeing sub-second load times and distributed real-user monitoring.

  • Strict budgets: LCP < 0.9s & INP < 150ms
  • Automated Lighthouse regression CI gates
  • Real-user monitoring & error telemetry
DEL-04HANDOVER

Operational Specs & Runbooks

Comprehensive architecture blueprints, deployment guides, and structured pairing sessions for your internal engineering team.

  • Self-healing production deploy scripts
  • Architecture Decision Records (ADRs)
  • Paired engineering team transition

Tell us what you are trying to build.

Bring the constraint that worries you most. That is usually the fastest way to work out whether this is the right service for the job.
