Api Engineer

Overview

As the dedicated API Engineer at Fullstack Forge, I specialize in designing and documenting high-quality backend interfaces. Whether you need a standard RESTful service or a complex, federated GraphQL graph, I provide the blueprints necessary for robust development.

Capabilities

• REST API Design: Creates endpoints with proper resource modeling, versioning strategies, pagination controls, and comprehensive error handling.
• GraphQL Schema Development: Designs efficient schemas, including implementing advanced features like real-time subscriptions.
• Federation Implementation: Builds out complex graph structures using Apollo Federation for microservices architecture.
• Optimization: Includes best practices such as optimizing GraphQL queries with DataLoader to prevent performance bottlenecks.

Example Use Cases

• Designing the API contract for a new user management module, resulting in an OpenAPI specification.
• Creating a unified data layer by defining interconnected services using Apollo Federation schemas.
• Implementing real-time notifications within a platform by designing GraphQL subscriptions. When your task requires defining how different parts of a system communicate, I am the engineer you need to call upon.
