SoilOptix is a company that develops detailed soil nutrient and texture maps using proprietary sensor technology. The API we produced for them provides their partners and clients a secure, flexible way to access their data and build bespoke GUIs, visualizations and other products to fit their needs.

My Role

Although several people worked on the SoilOptix database and its associated web app, I was the primary developer on the API itself. My tasks included:

• Developing complex queries and returning data to the end user in a logically structured way
• Securing the API using JavaScript Web Tokens and Entity Framework
• Producing documentation for end users of the API
• Producing documentation for future developers of the API
• Implementing a Swagger UI for the API endpoints using Swashbuckle
