Build secure, scalable backends and keep them stable in production with reliable CI/CD, monitoring, and performance tuning. Ideal if you want one engineer to own the full lifecycle from API design to deployment and ongoing maintenance.
What I can do for you
1. Backend Engineering
- REST APIs (and GraphQL if required)
- Database design & optimization (MySQL/PostgreSQL), migrations, indexing
- Authentication & security: JWT/OAuth, RBAC/permissions, validation, rate limiting
- Background jobs/queues, schedulers, event/webhook handling
- Third-party integrations (payments, external APIs)
- Logging, error handling, audit trails, automated tests, API docs (OpenAPI/Swagger)
2. DevOps & Production Reliability
- CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions / GitLab CI): build, test, deploy
- Docker setup, environment parity (dev/stage/prod)
- Server setup & hardening (Linux), SSL, firewall, backups
- Zero/low-downtime deployments, rollback strategy, release management
- Monitoring & alerting (logs/metrics/uptime), incident response support
- Performance + cost optimization (caching, DB tuning, scaling guidance)
Tech I work with
- Backend: Laravel (PHP), Node.js (Express/Nest), Python
- Data: MySQL/PostgreSQL, Redis
- Ops: Docker, Linux, Nginx, CI/CD, Git
How I work
- Clear milestones or hourly workflow with weekly progress updates
- Small, reviewable pull requests + clean architecture
- Production-first mindset: security, observability, and maintainability
Best fit for
SaaS products, internal business systems, mobile app backends, and any project that needs both development and long-term maintenance without handoffs.
