What Does a Fractional API Consultant Do?

I'm a software developer, integration architect, QA engineer, and investigator all in one.

Automations & System Integrations

Your data needs to live where your business can use it best.

Modern operations need data flowing reliability to streamline processes, reduce overhead, and save everyone hassle and frustration.

Instead of forcing team members to copy and paste data manually across disconnected systems, invest a solution that scales with your team. A custom integration can automate where data moves and when it moves. APIs, webhooks, reporting, automation platforms (like n8n and Make), and even scripting (like ScriptRunner Connect) can make a solution that fits your needs. If your CRMs do not talk to each other, for example, I can build you a custom pipeline for moving lead data across from one to the other securely and automatically.

These solutions can eliminiate wasted team hours and resources, removing tedious repetitive tasks, and work effectively without constant oversight. You get a solution that saves on team hours, prevents manual errors, and keeps your business focused on building value.

API Troubleshooting & Debugging

When an app integration breaks, you can stress less by bringing in a just-in-time API expert.

This fractional API expert can do deep technical investigations to sort out the root cause of two systems suddenly losing connectivity. It could be a change of API versioning, malformed JSON schema, or any number of edge cases that hadn't occurred until then.

Rather than redirecting your development team to chase down issues, you can get just-in-time analysis and answers.

Embedded White-Label SME

If you're on a client project that has a backend going off the rails, don't sweat it. Get just-in-time API support that acts as a member of your team. Jen does the tough troubleshooting and repair while you maintain the client relationship. NDAs are A-OK!

If you're currently in any of the following situations, you could use my help:

• You want to automate a tedious data-entry task between two apps, but they don't talk to each other yet.
• Your lead capture form stopped sending contacts to your CRM, so you’re losing potential revenue every hour it's down.
• Your custom-built solution for your client stopped working, and you need to troubleshoot it quickly and accurately. The app and the relationship are on the line.
• Your team has a new vibe coded app that was sending data last week, but stopped out of nowhere this week.
• Your customer's legacy CRM needs to connect to something from this decade, but the API docs are a mess. No one on the team has the time or patience to dig into the ancient spec (if there is one).

These are the perfect problems for me to dig into while you stress less. Let me sweat the details and get you back to running your business and improving client relationships.

Available White Label Services

Let's get you and your apps fixed up, fast.

Depending on what you need, we can do any or all of the following:

• Debugging & Support: Rapid response for critical API issues.
• Integration Guidance: Connect APIs across your stack.
• Documentation Overhauls: Clear, actionable API docs.
• Strategy Sessions: What's next for your app? Let's find out.

I am able to work with your clients as a white-label SME. I can blend in with your team, sign NDAs, and otherwise jump in to help without any long term commitment.

🤝 Partnering with Agencies & MSPs

Are you a local agency, software shop, or Managed Service Provider?

If your team is buried in project work or lacks a dedicated API specialist, have no fear! I can act as your on-demand, white-label technical detective. Let me handle the messy backend bugs while you maintain client relationships.

What's Next?

You receive just-in-time API debugging, integration, and strategy support.

Once your project is reviewed, a proposal will give you insight into what's up and multiple solution paths. You decide the depth and expense from there through transparent communications and reporting.

1. Book a discovery call to discuss your app challenges.
2. Review the proposal and choose the path that fits your needs best.
3. Choose a package (retainer or hourly) that fits your budget.
4. Once started, I integrate with your team and clients (Jira, Slack, or email) and review the applications involved.
5. I dive in and tackle your top priorities. 💪 This may involve reproducing errors, watching network traffic, adjusting app configurations, creating a script or automation, or other options for integrating data from one place to another. The solution will be customized to your situation.
6. While I uncover what's up and how to fix it, I keep you in the loop in plain English. You'll stay in constant contact about what's happening as I sort it all out.
7. Scale up or down anytime. No long-term contract is required.
