About this gig

Building a complex software platform requires more than writing features. It requires the right architecture, data model, system boundaries and engineering decisions from the beginning.


I am a Senior Backend Engineer specialising in scalable backend platforms, distributed systems and production software architecture.


I can architect and build platforms including SaaS products, fintech systems, marketplaces, data platforms and applications with complex business workflows.


Services can include:

  1. System and software architecture
  2. Java/Spring Boot, Go, Python or Node.js
  3. PostgreSQL, Redis and data modelling
  4. REST APIs and service integrations
  5. Authentication and authorization
  6. Complex transactional workflows
  7. Kafka and event-driven architecture
  8. Async processing and background workloads
  9. Performance, reliability and scalability
  10. Testing and production readiness


Every project is scoped around its actual requirements.


Please contact me before ordering so we can review the product, architecture, scope and delivery plan.
