API Design/Development Consulting
Need a bit of help with your current API? Running into problems with your testing solutions and need a bit of advice? Have an API that you hate but need advice on making it better? Want somebody to review your OpenAPI before you start building it so you don’t hate the next one? No idea whether your next API should be REST, RPC or GraphQL? Thinking about starting an API Governance program but have no idea where to start? Considering implementing HTTP Caching but can’t figure out how what combination of tools to use? Are slow systems causing domino effects and cascading failures? Don’t know what any of this means? Schedule a session!
I’ve been fixing issues in distributed systems for over a decade and helping countless clients solve problems, so whatever you’re struggling with in the world of APIs and distributed systems I can help, advice, diagnose, or point out issues before they happen. Share your screen with me, let me into your New Relic account, or just chat on Zoom. We can handle your API/architecture problems a bunch of different ways.
- Hire me for consulting — I’m doing a few API design and development workshops for various companies, and I’d love to start doing more Green Software sessions and workshops too, so we can reduce the carbon footprint of the software we’re building.
- Short term contracts — I’ve got a few companies putting me on retainers for a few hours a month, helping with production design, API design, doing occasional API training, but would be happy to do a day or two a week to make sure you’ve got even more help like a part-time CTO, whilst you get the new product out or find that full-time member. Get in touch via Green Turtle.
- Unlimited API Support — I’ve sold a few support tickets I’ve been calling the API Bat Phone, and I have only two left. I’ll give you a direct link to my calendar so you can get as much help with whatever you like for six months. I’ve sold four of these and I’ve enjoyed reviewing OpenAPI for new APIs, answering random emails at all time of day and night, and having some “Augunt Aunt” sessions where people get help with whatever tech problems they’re having. No limit on the number of hours. Try and make me regret it.
