Developed and maintained third-party data integrations as a PHP backend developer. Fetched and processed data from APIs, CSV, and XML files, storing it in MySQL via ZendDB for use by the TapClicks core API.
Built a data integration code generator tool that automated ~90% of integration logic. Developed a web app interface for the product team to define specs and export JSON, which powered the generator—resulting in faster delivery, improved consistency, and fewer errors.
Transitioned to the platform team to support and modernize the core data analytics API. Helped migrate from a legacy architecture to a new Slim-based framework with a custom ORM.
Consolidated model-generation logic from legacy systems, introduced PHPUnit testing for data integrations, and eventually owned maintenance and development of the new core API.
Played a key role in the release process, debugging and resolving complex migration issues to ensure successful and timely deployments.
Extended the core API to support data fetching from both MySQL and Snowflake. Developed logic to dynamically parse and convert MySQL-specific expressions to Snowflake-compatible syntax.
Mentored junior and intermediate developers and was regularly consulted for planning and technical strategy due to broad system knowledge and a track record of delivering elegant, scalable solutions.
