I will develop a node js rest api backend with express and mongodb


About this gig
I build secure, production-ready REST APIs in Node.js, Express, and MongoDB for web apps, mobile backends, and SaaS products that need a backend that won't break under real users.
What you get
A working API with documented endpoints, JWT authentication, input validation, error handling, and MongoDB integration. Full source code, a Postman collection, and setup instructions so your team can run it on day one.
What I build
- Custom REST API development (CRUD, filtering, pagination)
- JWT authentication, role-based access, password hashing
- MongoDB schema design and integration
- Third-party API integration Stripe, Paystack, Flutterwave, Twilio, OpenAI, Firebase
- Bug fixes and performance optimization on existing Node.js APIs
- Deployment support (Render, Railway, VPS)
Stack: Node.js, Express.js, MongoDB, Mongoose, JWT, REST
How I work
You tell me what the API needs to do. I confirm the endpoint list with you before I write code, so there are no surprises at delivery. You get progress updates, not silence.
Message me with your project details and I'll tell you honestly whether I'm the right fit and which package covers it.

FAQ
What technologies do you use for backend development?
I develop backend solutions using Node.js, Express.js, JavaScript, MongoDB, JWT Authentication, and REST APIs. I follow clean coding practices to build secure, scalable, and maintainable applications.
Can you integrate third-party APIs into my application?
Yes. I can integrate REST-based third-party APIs into your Node.js application — payment gateways, messaging/notification services, AI APIs, and similar. I work carefully from the provider's documentation and test each integration thoroughly so it works reliably in your project.
Do you provide source code and API documentation?
Yes. All packages include complete source code. Standard and Premium also include clean code comments, and I provide documented endpoints with a Thunder Client collection you can use to test and explore the API.
Can you fix bugs or improve an existing Node.js REST API?
Absolutely. I can debug, optimize, and improve existing Node.js and Express.js REST APIs by fixing errors, improving performance, enhancing security, or adding new features.
Should I contact you before placing an order?
You can order directly if your requirements are clear and match one of the packages. For larger or custom projects, feel free to message me first so we can confirm scope and pick the right package.
How long will my API take?
Basic orders deliver in 2 days, Standard in 5, and Premium in 7. Most projects fit these timelines comfortably. For larger or more complex projects, I'll tell you the realistic timeline before you order rather than after.
What happens if I need changes after delivery?
Revisions are included in every package — 2 with Basic, 3 with Standard, 5 with Premium — and cover anything that doesn't match what we agreed on, plus reasonable adjustments to how endpoints behave. Bugs in code I wrote are always fixed free, revision
