The integration layer between your commerce systems and your warehouse.
WMS, OMS, ERP, dropship — connected with event-driven architecture that survives peak. I design it, I build it, and I'm on-site when it goes live.
When to call me
These projects have hard dates and no second chances. That's the work I take.
A new fulfillment center is coming online
Integration architecture from day zero — event contracts, system boundaries, and the failure modes nobody scoped.
You're migrating or replacing a WMS
Cutover without losing orders: parallel-run strategy, idempotent replays, and a rollback path that actually works.
Your OMS or ERP is changing underneath everything
Keeping fulfillment running while the system of record moves — translation layers, versioned events, staged migration.
Peak season is closer than it looks
Throughput, backpressure, dead-letter hygiene, and the on-call runbook — assessed and fixed before November, not during it.
Five years inside Nordstrom's supply-chain technology.
I joined as a consultant through PeloTech in 2018. A year later, Nordstrom hired me full-time — the strongest endorsement a consultant can earn. Through 2023, I architected and built their warehouse integration across four major workstreams:
- 3P dropship integration — event-driven integration with a third-party dropship service, built for high availability and throughput on Java and Kafka.
- WMS integration — architected the event-driven system translating events between third-party warehouse systems: 22 microservices on Kubernetes, Terraform, GitLab CI/CD — as technical lead for the engineering team.
- Omnichannel warehouse launch — supported the go-live of a new omni-channel fulfillment facility, where the integration layer had to be right on day one.
- WMS evaluation — evaluated top-tier WMS platforms for selection, so I know the vendor landscape from the inside.
How we can work together
Fixed scope, written deliverables, and a price agreed before anything starts.
Integration Architecture Review
A structured review of your fulfillment integration — event flows, failure modes, idempotency, observability — with written findings, a risk register, and a prioritized roadmap. The low-risk way to start.
Go-Live & Peak-Readiness Assessment
For a launch or a holiday season that can't slip: load and backpressure analysis, replay and recovery drills, cutover planning, and the runbook your on-call team will actually use.
WMS Evaluation & Selection Support
An engineer's view of the WMS landscape — evaluation criteria, integration-cost reality checks, and reference architecture for whichever platform you choose. I don't take vendor commissions.
Integration Architecture & Build
The main event: I design and build the integration layer — event contracts, services, infrastructure, delivery pipelines — and stay accountable through go-live, on-site if that's what the cutover needs. I work with modern AI-assisted tooling, which is how one accountable architect keeps a team's pace; the judgment and the review are always mine.
For implementation partners
If you're an SI or WMS implementation partner short on senior integration engineers mid-rollout: I take a small amount of overflow work, with zero ramp on event-driven integration. Quiet, reliable, and your client never waits on me.
