July 12, 2023 omkarnathvaranasi
Client: American Express
Tools Used: REST API, Postman, SQL
Description

Replaced legacy SFTP-based exchange with real-time APIs between Amex and collection agencies.

The Challenge

Data sync between Amex and third-party agencies was delayed by hours due to batched SFTP jobs, increasing the risk of outdated or incomplete collections data.

What I Did

Defined business rules and led implementation of secure, two-way APIs for agency data exchange, including token-based authentication and logging.

The Impact

Replacing old-school infrastructure doesn’t just improve performance, it reduces compliance and customer service risks.

What I Learned

Reduced sync latency from hours to minutes. Improved collection efficiency and eliminated errors from file transfer mismatches.
