Discovering Boomi
Boomi is a low-code integration platform designed to connect systems, applications, and data, both in the cloud and on-premises. What makes it stand out is its speed: it’s easy to build, test, and deploy integrations quickly, which is a huge advantage when working in fast-paced environments.
When I joined Solita, I was introduced to several integration platforms. Boomi was one of them, but at the time, I didn’t know it would soon become such a central part of my work. It wasn’t until I started my first client project that I got to work hands-on with Boomi, building solutions for both complex systems and smaller ones.
That early experience really opened my eyes to what the platform could do. It was intuitive to work with, but powerful enough to support serious integration challenges. Before I knew it, Boomi was no longer just one tool among many; it became the one I reached for most.
For me, Boomi isn’t just a connector between tools; it’s a way to simplify complexity and help organisations work smarter.
Growing with support
One of the things I appreciate is the focus on continuous learning. Early on, I was encouraged to take my skills further, and with support from my team, I went on to earn several certifications, including the Boomi Professional Developer certification.
There’s a great culture of sharing knowledge here. We often exchange ideas around integration strategies, and Boomi frequently comes up as a go-to solution. That kind of environment made it easier for me to deepen my expertise and explore different use cases more confidently.
Building something from scratch
One of the most valuable experiences I’ve had here was working on an internal project where I set up a complete Boomi infrastructure on AWS. It was a chance to dive into the platform from an architecture and infrastructure perspective, not just as a developer.
Designing and deploying the setup from scratch gave me a much broader understanding of the platform and how to scale it efficiently. It also helped me think more strategically about how we can support integration across teams.
Making an impact with integration
Right now, I’m working with a client where Boomi plays a key role in automating and optimising business processes. I’ve developed integrations with various cloud platforms and a CMDB, built automated health checks to improve reliability, and contributed to improving ways of working across the board.
What I enjoy most is that the work isn’t just technical, it’s about solving real problems and making daily operations smoother for the teams involved. Boomi allows me to move fast, iterate easily, and deliver results that actually make a difference.
Looking ahead
My Boomi journey started with curiosity, but it’s grown into a core part of my professional path. And Solita has been a big part of that. The mix of trust, autonomy, and community support has allowed me to take ownership of my learning and projects in a way that feels both challenging and rewarding.
I’m excited to keep building on this journey: helping clients simplify their systems, improve their processes, and find better ways of working through the power of integration.
