Backend Development
Backend engineering for products that carry money and data: APIs designed for the next five years, not the demo.
Good back-ends are boring: predictable under load, honest about failure, observable in production and documented for the humans who inherit them. The work spans API design and implementation, third-party integrations, performance tuning, and rescue of systems that have started throwing 3am surprises.
Primary stack: Node.js, PostgreSQL, Redis where caching is genuinely needed. Boring and proven beats novel and fragile — your database is not the place for adventure.
Questions
Asked about backend.
Yes — inherited systems are a specialty. The engagement starts with a read-only audit: architecture, security posture, performance profile, and the honest verdict on fix versus rebuild. You see the evidence before committing to either.
Authentication, rate limiting, input validation, least-privilege access and secrets handled properly are baseline, not extras. For regulated work, the specific compliance requirements are scoped into the build.
Deployment, CI/CD and the hosting layer are set up in your own accounts with a runbook — you are never locked into somebody else’s server. Deep platform engineering beyond that gets scoped with specialists on larger projects.
