02 · PROBLEM

What wasn’t working.

T Consulting needed a reverse proxy layer to manage request routing, access and service-level control across internal and client-facing systems. Standard proxy setups weren’t enough: the work needed custom logic around headers, authentication, service routing, logging and controlled fallbacks.

03 · CONSTRAINTS

Flight restrictions.

RESTRICTION01Authentication patterns that standard tooling didn’t fit.
04 · APPROACH

What we did, one working step at a time.

We built a reverse proxy between users, internal services and downstream applications that inspects, routes and checks every request, handles errors predictably and logs what happened.

05 · DELIVERED

The paper trail they kept.

OUTCOME

Traffic between systems became controlled and reliable, and far less manual troubleshooting was needed when requests failed or routed wrongly.

He helped us build a proxy layer that handled the messy parts of routing and access control without making the system harder to maintain. It solved the immediate issue and gave us a stronger foundation for future work.
