Case Study: Building SDKs and Tools for a HIPAA-Compliant US Secure Email Platform

Challenge

The client had a working email platform with a secure API. But to help more developers use their service easily, they needed:

  • SDKs in multiple programming languages (C#, Java, Node.js, Ruby on Rails, Python, Perl, PHP)

  • A Mulesoft connector for enterprise use

Their internal team was already busy with their main product and couldn’t take on this work without slowing down their core roadmap.

Solution

I came in as a consultant and handled the full development of all these tools by myself, without needing support from their internal team. My work included:

  • Learning the existing API and system quickly.

  • Building SDKs in all requested languages.

  • Creating a Mulesoft connector for integration with other tools.

  • Writing clear documentation to help other developers use the tools.
