Hire Backend Developer
7+ Years Building Production Systems | Backend Architecture & Full-Stack Solutions
I design and build reliable backend systems that power real-world applications. From APIs and authentication to databases and integrations, I focus on performance, scalability, and long-term maintainability.
Backend-only hiring makes sense when you already have a frontend team and need someone to own the API layer, data models, and infrastructure. I build REST and gRPC APIs, design PostgreSQL schemas that survive 100× growth without rewrites, wire up Celery or Bull queues for async workloads, and implement auth systems that don't break when your user base scales. Common backend projects: payment webhook processing with idempotency, multi-tenant SaaS with row-level security, real-time event systems with WebSockets or SSE, and data pipelines that land in PostgreSQL or S3.

Backend Projects That Actually Scale — What It Takes
Most backend failures aren't technology failures. They're design failures caught too late.
No OpenAPI spec, no types, no examples. Frontend developers reverse-engineer from network logs. Every integration is a negotiation.
API contract designed first, reviewed with stakeholders, then implemented. Swagger UI live from the first endpoint. No surprises at integration time.
Tables designed for 1,000 rows, breaking at 1,000,000. Missing indexes, TEXT columns where UUIDs belong, no foreign key constraints.
Normalized where needed, denormalized where performance demands it. Every query planned with EXPLAIN ANALYZE before going live.
Something is slow. Something is failing. You find out from a customer email, not a dashboard.
JSON structured logs, error tracking (Sentry), and distributed tracing (OpenTelemetry) wired in during development — not added as an emergency after the first incident.
Permission checks missing on half the endpoints. IDOR vulnerabilities where users can read each other's data. Tokens that never expire.
JWT with short-lived access + refresh tokens, RBAC baked into the schema, and IDOR tests in the test suite. Security reviewed before delivery.
Full-time hiring takes 2–3 months of recruiting, interviews, and notice periods. Your roadmap sits idle.
No recruiting pipeline, no notice period. Reach out today and we can be writing code by end of week.
Account managers relay messages to developers you've never spoken to. Feedback takes days to reach the person building.
You talk directly to me — the person writing every line. Slack, email, or video. No middlemen, no message relay.

Let's Talk About Your ProjectHow It Works
A straightforward process built for fast starts and transparent delivery.
Tell Me About Your Project
Send the project form with your requirements, timeline, and what success looks like. I respond within 24 hours with questions and a scoping proposal.
Agree on Scope & Rate
We align on deliverables, timeline, and engagement model — hourly, fixed-price, or retainer. A signed agreement before any code is written.
API Contract + Environment Setup
OpenAPI spec drafted and agreed before any handler code. Local environment mirrors production (Docker Compose with real Postgres + Redis). Existing codebase security-reviewed if applicable.
Test-Driven Endpoint Development
Each endpoint built with integration tests against a real test DB. No mocks for database or external services where avoidable — tests prove the real behavior.
Delivery: Documented API + Deployed Service
OpenAPI spec final, Postman collection exported, all tests passing in CI. Service deployed and observable — logs, error tracking, and basic alerting configured.
Transparent process, no surprises, no scope creep without discussion.
Code, IP, repository, deployment credentials — all yours from day one.
Daily or weekly async updates. You always know what's built, what's next, what's blocked.
Common Questions
How quickly can I start?
Within 24–48 hours after scope is agreed.
How do we communicate?
Directly — Slack, email, or video. No account managers or relay chains.
What if requirements change?
Changes discussed openly — scope and timeline impact agreed before proceeding.
Who owns the code?
You do. Full IP ownership transferred on delivery. No strings attached.

Pricing & Rates
Transparent, flexible pricing that scales with your project complexity and needs
What Affects Service Rate
Project Complexity
Simple CRUD apps differ from microservices architecture or real-time systems.
Technical Responsibility
Architecting systems costs more than executing well-defined tasks.
Time Commitment
Long-term engagements (retainers) may have different rates than hourly work.
Team Scaling
Managing additional developers or handling team coordination increases cost.
Ongoing Support
Maintenance, monitoring, and continuous improvements have different pricing models.
Engagement Models
Perfect for smaller projects, quick fixes, or when scope isn't fully defined. You pay only for time spent.
Clear scope, defined deliverables, and fixed price. Great when you know exactly what you need.
Ongoing monthly commitment for continuous work, maintenance, or on-call support. Lower rates for predictable work.
Pricing is always discussed upfront and aligned with scope. You'll know exactly what you're paying for and why. No unexpected bills, no vague fees.
Pricing Questions
Can I get a discount for longer engagements?
Yes. Retainer arrangements and long-term commitments typically have lower rates than hourly work, reflecting the stability and predictability.
Do you offer fixed-price projects?
Absolutely. If your project scope is clear and defined, i can agree on a fixed price upfront with specific deliverables and timeline.
What if scope changes mid-project?
We discuss and adjust transparently. Changes are tracked, impact is calculated, and i align on new pricing or timeline before proceeding.
Do rates go up for more complex work?
Yes. Complex architecture, real-time systems, or leadership responsibilities command higher rates. This reflects the skill and accountability required.
Do you offer payment plans or installments?
We can discuss flexible payment schedules for larger projects. Typically, installments align with project milestones and deliverables.
How do i determine the final rate?
During our initial conversation, I'll understand your project scope, complexity, and needs. Then i'll discuss what makes sense and agree on pricing.
