🚀Overview

I took over this enterprise shipping platform midway through development and led architecture and implementation through scale. The system now processes over 500,000 packages monthly, supporting distributed warehouse operations and high-volume fulfillment.

🔧 Tech Stack & Infrastructure

🧱 Built on Drupal with support systems in Redis, MySQL, ReactPHP, and Docker
🖥️ Developed an Angular-based desktop app used by warehouse teams to process and print thousands of shipping labels daily
🔁 Integrated with Jenkins for CI/CD and containerized local environments for development
🧑‍💻 Enabled containerized local development and platform-wide DevOps consistency
☁️ Deployed on Google Cloud Platform using Kubernetes for orchestration and horizontal scalability

📦 Core Workflow

🔌 Shippers connect via a custom REST API (multi-tenant), with one enterprise shipper using a Netsuite integration
🚚 Shipments are asynchronously submitted to carrier APIs including FedEx, UPS, DHL, USPS, EasyPost, Route4Me, OnTrac, LSO, and CXT
📤 System sends shipment details to carriers →
📄 Receives back printable labels →
🗂 Labels are sorted and queued via the Angular app →
🖨️ Printed in order via TSC label printers
🏭 Used by warehouse staff to fulfill and ship packages

📈 Impact

Enabled reliable fulfillment of 500k+ packages monthly
Scaled multi-shipper ingestion via REST with real-time webhook tracking
Improved warehouse speed and accuracy through smart label queueing and printer workflows
Supported seamless addition of new carriers and shippers with minimal friction
