Context

ShipStation is one of the larger multi-carrier shipping platforms used by online retailers and marketplaces. While at Innostax I worked as Project Lead on a multi-quarter engagement to integrate new carrier APIs and harden the existing module surface.

What I built

  • Integrated 15+ shipping-carrier modules behind a unified internal API; designed the request/response shape so adding a new carrier didn't require touching consumers.
  • Cut iteration cycles by ~20% by tightening the review/test loop and standardising the carrier-module shape across the team.
  • Stabilised the platform with Jest/Mocha coverage on the integration layer — reduced regression defects by ~20%.
  • Led a team of seven and onboarded five new engineers; established the carrier-module pattern as the standard for new integrations.

Impact

  • +40% API performance across integrated modules.
  • −20% iteration cycle time on new carrier rollouts.
  • +15% client satisfaction per QBR feedback.
