Services

Backend-first engineering for hire

I help founders and teams ship reliable APIs, cloud services, and product features. Full-stack when the UI matters — without losing backend rigor.

Backend APIs & microservices

Reliable REST APIs and event-driven services that integrate cleanly with your product.

From greenfield APIs to hardening existing backends — modular design, clear contracts, and production-minded delivery.

  • REST API design and implementation
  • Auth, roles, and multi-tenant patterns
  • Event-driven workflows with queues
  • Testing, reviews, and deployable services

Cloud & SaaS backends

Cloud-native services for licensing, entitlements, billing hooks, and scalable SaaS foundations.

Experience building cloud services that turn enterprise software into scalable SaaS — AWS messaging, high-throughput processing, and partner integrations.

  • AWS SNS / SQS asynchronous workflows
  • Licensing and entitlement services
  • Partner and platform integrations
  • Observability-friendly service design

Full-stack product builds

Backend-first product engineering with React/Next when the client experience needs it.

Ship end-to-end features: solid data models and APIs, plus a focused frontend when your MVP or client product needs a UI.

  • MVP and feature delivery
  • Node / NestJS / Spring Boot / FastAPI backends
  • React and Next.js frontends
  • Maintainable structure for later growth

Freelance rescue & MVP acceleration

Unstick a half-built product, stabilize an API, or get a teaching/tooling app to market.

Ideal when you need an engineer who can own the backend, communicate clearly, and ship — including past freelance delivery like Shakers Academy.

  • Scoped delivery with clear milestones
  • Codebase cleanup and refactoring
  • Production readiness fixes
  • Handoff documentation
