Hey, I'm Steven Mercatante and I build things for the web.
I'm a full stack software engineer with over 15 years of experience building websites, mobile apps, APIs, CMSs, and ETL pipelines.
I think including an API you built in your portfolio is fine. It gives the potential employer/client a lot of things to check out, like:
is the code written cleanly?
is it documented?
are there tests?
You could even write a small case study on it and host it on your personal site. That'll let people get a sense of a) what it does, b) why you built it, and c) any interesting problems you had to solve.
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
