Problem

A client running a complex product catalog in Akeneo PIM needed an automated way to migrate and continuously sync product data into a WooCommerce storefront, eliminating error-prone manual exports and imports.

Architecture

Custom WordPress/WooCommerce plugin connecting to the Akeneo PIM REST API, mapping PIM attributes, categories, and media to the WooCommerce product schema, with bulk and incremental import support, conflict resolution, and logging.

Impact

• Automated end-to-end product migration from Akeneo PIM to WooCommerce
• Eliminated manual data entry and reduced catalog sync errors
• Reusable plugin architecture supporting ongoing incremental syncs

Problem

Spotify needed a high-performance digital platform for showcasing their product ecosystem and brand experience — a content-driven, multi-page marketing website with rich media, dynamic animations, and interactive product showcases.

Architecture

Next.js and React with SSR/SSG, Contentful headless CMS with GraphQL API for structured content delivery, GSAP and Framer Motion for rich animations, and Zustand for state management. Deployed on Google Cloud Platform with multi-environment pipeline (Dev, Staging, Production).

Impact

• Full-stack application with rich media experiences
• Multi-environment CI/CD pipeline on GCP with automated changelog
• Comprehensive code quality: ESLint, Prettier, SonarQube, Husky, Commitlint

Problem

Enterprise needed real-time bidirectional data synchronization between Microsoft Dynamics 365 and HubSpot CRM — handling customers, contacts, and addresses across incompatible schemas and data models.

Architecture

Event-driven serverless architecture with 13+ AWS Lambda functions, custom shared Lambda layers for code reuse, webhook handlers for both CRMs enabling real-time sync on entity changes, and bulk migration capabilities for initial data transfer of 100K+ records.

Impact

• Bidirectional real-time sync across 2 enterprise CRM platforms
• Zero data loss across 100K+ record bulk migrations
• Custom Lambda layers reduced deployment package sizes significantly

Problem

Manual data entry between an ERP system and Salesforce CRM caused delays, errors, and inconsistent records. Needed automated, reliable synchronization with priority-based entity processing and large-scale data handling.

Architecture

TypeScript/Express API with hourly cron jobs for incremental sync using delta tracking, Salesforce Bulk API v2 for large-scale operations with polling and retry mechanisms, Prisma ORM with PostgreSQL for sync state tracking, and comprehensive monitoring via Winston, CloudWatch, and Slack webhooks.

Impact

• Automated hourly sync eliminating manual data entry entirely
• Priority-based entity processing (Customer → Location → SalesOrder)
• Comprehensive monitoring with Slack alerts and health endpoints

Problem

Complex industrial product catalog with 2,000+ variants per product needed migration to Shopify — exceeding the platform's variant limits and requiring a custom product configurator with cascading options and real-time pricing.

Architecture

Custom Shopify Dawn theme with Liquid-based product configurator, a Remix-powered Shopify app for bulk importing products with automatic splitting for oversized variant sets, and a comprehensive 9-step Node.js data processing pipeline (web scraping, data transformation, validation, import generation).

Impact

• Handled products with 2,000+ variants via automatic product splitting
• 9-step automated data pipeline from multiple source formats
• Custom configurator with cascading options and real-time pricing

Problem

Needed a full backend services layer for a Unity/WebAssembly browser game — including user authentication, leaderboards, player data management, multi-language support, and email notifications.

Architecture

Express.js API with MySQL/Sequelize for player data and game state, JWT authentication with bcrypt hashing, i18next for internationalization with filesystem backend, Nodemailer with Handlebars templates for emails, and security hardening with XSS sanitization and input validation.

Impact

• Full backend API powering a Unity/WASM browser game
• Multi-language support via i18next for international audiences
• Secure auth with JWT and comprehensive input validation

Problem

University student enrollment lifecycle was fragmented between HubSpot CRM and a Student Information System — requiring manual data transfer for contacts, documents, enrollments, and status updates.

Architecture

15 AWS Lambda functions handling the complete enrollment data flow — HubSpot webhook processing for real-time events (contact updates, document uploads, status changes), SIS integration for student records and enrollments, and dedicated error processing functions with CloudWatch monitoring.

Impact

• 15 Lambda functions automating the full enrollment lifecycle
• Real-time webhook processing for HubSpot events
• Parallel CI/CD deployment pipeline for all functions

Problem

A fire suppression company managing wildland crews and resources relied on disconnected tools for employee management, crew scheduling, vehicle assignment, and internal communication.

Architecture

Monorepo with three interconnected applications — React frontend with Redux, Bootstrap/Reactstrap UI, real-time Pusher notifications, drag-and-drop scheduling, a public job application form, and a Laravel/MySQL backend API with RESTful endpoints, authentication, and file storage.

Impact

• Monorepo with 3 interconnected apps built entirely from scratch
• Real-time notifications and drag-and-drop crew scheduling
• Automated CI/CD with Bitbucket Pipelines and Laravel Envoy

Problem

An existing DynamicWeb CMS platform (.NET/C#) needed custom module integrations and a new search mechanism, with minimal platform documentation available.

Architecture

Integrated custom modules into the DynamicWeb CMS ecosystem, implemented a custom searching mechanism, and built a standalone Node.js/Express ReCAPTCHA verification server for secure form submissions — requiring reverse engineering due to limited platform docs.

Impact

• Custom modules integrated into .NET-based CMS platform
• New search mechanism replacing existing functionality
• Problem-solved with minimal documentation via reverse engineering
