Backend Development

The Problem I Solve

Your backend is the foundation everything else depends on. When APIs are slow, integrations are brittle, or your codebase has become a liability, every other part of the business feels it. Teams end up in firefighting mode instead of building new features.

I help teams get their backend systems to a place where things just work — reliably, at scale, and without requiring heroics from your developers.

What I Do

• API design and development — RESTful and GraphQL APIs that are well-documented, performant, and a pleasure to integrate with
• Full-stack application development — End-to-end systems built with clean architecture patterns
• Legacy system modernization — Phased migrations from monoliths to service-oriented architectures
• Performance optimization — Profiling and fixing bottlenecks in existing systems
• Code review and architecture consulting — Second opinions on system design and implementation quality
• Technical debt reduction — Systematic cleanup that improves velocity without risky rewrites

How I Work

I bill hourly and embed directly with your team. That means Slack, standups, PRs — whatever your workflow is. I focus on building things your team can own after I'm gone. No black boxes, no vendor lock-in.
