I will be your backend developer for api, web app in nodejs, python, laravel, django


About this gig
Your backend is the part users never see and always feel. When it's slow or badly structured, everything built on top of it suffers.
I build and fix backends and APIs for web apps, SaaS products, and mobile apps. I work across stacks based on what your project needs:
- JavaScript/TypeScript Node.js, Express, Deno, Bun
- Python FastAPI, Django, Flask
- PHP Laravel
- APIs REST, GraphQL, and third-party integrations (Stripe, auth, external services)
- Databases PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, Prisma
I lead a development team and work at an architecture level, so you get more than code that runs today. I flag risks early, keep the structure clean enough to build on, and point out simpler paths when they exist. You'll always know what's happening at each step.
Good fit for:
- A new backend or API
- Connecting an app to external services
- Cleaning up a messy codebase
- Adding a backend to a frontend you already have.
Message me before ordering with your project details and stack, and I'll give you an honest scope and timeline.

FAQ
Which backend stack should I use?
Depends on your project. Node, Deno, or Bun suit JS/TS teams and real-time apps; FastAPI or Django suit Python and data-heavy work; Laravel suits PHP and fast CRUD builds. Tell me what you're building and I'll recommend one.
Can you work with my existing codebase?
Yes. I integrate with, extend, and refactor existing backends and APIs.
Do you build REST and GraphQL APIs?
Both, and I'll help you pick the right one for your use case.
Which databases do you work with?
PostgreSQL, MySQL, and MongoDB, including schema design, Prisma and ORMs where it fits.
Can you connect third-party services?
Yes, payment gateways like Stripe, authentication, external APIs, and webhooks.
Will I get the source code?
Yes. You receive the full source with comments and you own it completely.
Do you offer ongoing maintenance?
Yes, we can set up a maintenance arrangement after delivery.
How do we start?
