I worked at Palatinate part time where I was the sole developer brought in to integrate one of their existing systems with third party travel software. The challenges faced during this project include having to work with an undocumented SOAP XML API that produced no standard API response codes or consistency in its returned types. There were no API contracts or documentation to explain what had to be built so it was an exploratory piece of work that involved a lot of reverse engineering to fit the API to the needs of the business.
