Integrate & Extend
Connect payments, SMS, email, and other services. Add native iOS apps without hiring mobile teams. Expand your platform without rebuilding from scratch.
The Challenge
Your core product is solid, but you need to add critical integrations and expand to mobile. Payments, email, SMS, booking systems, CRMs—every integration is its own learning curve. And building a separate iOS app means hiring mobile developers and maintaining two codebases.
Complex API Integrations
Each third party service has different auth, rate limits, webhooks, and error handling. It's not just reading docs.
Mobile = Separate Team
Traditional mobile development means hiring iOS developers, maintaining two codebases, keeping features in sync.
Integration Brittleness
APIs change without warning. Webhooks fail silently. You need robust error handling and monitoring.
Time to Market
Every integration or platform expansion delays your roadmap. Customers are waiting.
My Integration & Extension Approach
I integrate third party services the right way—with proper error handling, monitoring, and testing. For mobile, I use Turbo Native to ship native iOS apps without separate codebases or mobile teams.
API & Service Integrations
Payment Processing
Stripe, PayPal, or other payment gateways. I handle subscriptions, one-time payments, webhooks, refunds, and failed payment recovery.
Common use cases: SaaS subscriptions, marketplace payments, donation platforms
Email & SMS
SendGrid, Twilio, Mailgun, Postmark. Transactional emails, marketing campaigns, two way SMS, delivery tracking, and bounce handling.
Common use cases: Customer notifications, marketing campaigns, SMS verification
CRM & Marketing Tools
HubSpot, Salesforce, Intercom, Segment. Sync customer data, track events, trigger automations, and maintain data consistency.
Common use cases: Sales pipelines, customer support, marketing automation
Industry-Specific APIs
Booking systems (FareHarbor), scheduling (Calendly), shipping (Shippo), or any API your business needs. I've integrated dozens of services.
We figure out the docs, handle edge cases, and make it reliable
Native iOS Without a Mobile Team
Using Turbo Native, I wrap your Rails web app in a native iOS shell. This gives you a real native app in the App Store—with 100% code sharing between web and mobile. No separate mobile team. No maintaining two codebases.
What you get:
- Native iOS app in App Store
- Native navigation and gestures
- Push notifications
- Offline capability (if needed)
What you save:
- No iOS developers needed
- No duplicate codebase
- Features auto-sync across platforms
- 3-5x faster time to market
Real example:
RideMentor launched both web and native iOS as a solo developer. 100% code sharing. 6 months to App Store. No mobile team. No Swift experts. Just modern Rails + Turbo Native.
What You Get
Reliable Integrations
Proper error handling, retry logic, monitoring. Integrations that work.
Webhook Handling
Receive events from third parties, process them reliably, handle failures.
Native iOS App
Real App Store presence without hiring mobile developers or maintaining separate codebases.
Comprehensive Testing
Integration tests for all third party services. VCR cassettes for reliable tests.
Monitoring & Alerts
Know immediately when integrations break or webhooks fail.
Documentation
Clear docs for how integrations work, how to test them, and how to troubleshoot.

Common Questions
Can you integrate any API?
Generally yes. I've integrated dozens of services—from common ones like Stripe and Twilio to niche industry specific APIs. If it has an API, I can integrate it. I'll be honest if something is unusually complex or poorly documented.
What if the API documentation is terrible?
This happens more than you'd think. I test extensively, handle edge cases, and build monitoring so I know immediately when something breaks. I document what I learn so your team can maintain it.
Will a Turbo Native iOS app feel native?
Yes. Users can't tell it's not "pure Swift." Native navigation, gestures, animations. Apps like Basecamp and HEY use this approach. RideMentor is in the App Store and feels completely native.
Can we add native features later if needed?
Absolutely. Turbo Native is a hybrid approach—most of your app is shared Rails code, but you can write native Swift for specific features (camera access, AR, offline mode, etc.) when needed.
Do you handle App Store submission?
Yes. I handle app icons, screenshots, metadata, TestFlight beta testing, and the App Store review process. I've shipped dozens of apps and know what Apple looks for.
