Services
I build the part of your product that users never see but always feel: secure APIs, reliable databases and systems that stay fast as you grow. Laravel, CodeIgniter, PHP, Node.js and NestJS, from one developer you can talk to directly.
Technologies I use for backends
01 / What I build
Most projects I take on fall into one of these eight areas. Many combine three or four of them, and I scope each one separately so you can see where the effort goes.
Tell me what you needREST APIs that your web app, mobile app and partners can rely on, with clear versioning and documentation. Payment gateways, accounting, booking and shipping integrations are part of the same job.
Accounts, roles, subscriptions and data isolation, so every customer sees only their own data and you can add the next customer without rework.
Schemas designed around the questions your product will ask, with migrations, indexes and query tuning so reports and lists stay fast.
Live updates, chat, notifications and bidding engines built on WebSockets, where a delay of a second changes the result.
Login, sessions, tokens, permissions and input validation, plus the daily habits that keep common attacks out.
Emails, reports, imports and other slow work moved out of the request, so pages stay quick and failed jobs retry safely.
Dashboards, back offices and workflows that replace spreadsheets and manual steps for your own team.
Semantic search, assistants and retrieval-augmented answers connected to your existing data and permissions.
02 / How it fits together
Every request travels the same path. I design and build each layer, so the whole path stays simple to understand and cheap to change.
Anything that calls your backend. I design the backend around how these clients really behave, not around the framework.
The front door. It decides who gets in and what shape the data must have before it goes any further.
Where your product's real rules live. I keep this layer apart from the framework, so it is easy to test and easy to change.
The right store for each kind of data, with indexes and caching chosen from how the data is actually read.
Repeatable deployments, background workers and logs, so problems are found by me before your customers find them.
03 / Choosing the stack
I pick the stack that fits your project, not the one I like most. A longer bar means a stronger fit. The bars are rough comparisons to help you decide, not benchmarks or measurements.
Best for
Business applications, SaaS products, APIs and admin systems that need to ship fast and stay tidy.
Less suited to
A tiny single-purpose service where a full framework is more than you need.
Best for
Lightweight PHP applications, fast APIs, and improving or extending an existing CodeIgniter project.
Less suited to
A large product that will grow for many years and needs strong built-in structure.
Best for
Real-time features, chat, dashboards and APIs that handle many connections at once.
Less suited to
A team that wants one strict, opinionated structure without having to decide it first.
Best for
Large TypeScript backends, microservices and multi-tenant systems that many developers will touch.
Less suited to
A small project or a quick prototype, where the structure costs more than it saves.
04 / What good looks like
Your backend handles authentication, data processing and every API call. A weak one shows up later as slow pages, repeated bugs and expensive updates, so these are the four things I build for from day one.
Protected against threats such as SQL injection, XSS and data leaks.
Built to grow with your traffic and your user base.
Clean architecture and modular code that fails in small, findable ways.
Structured to match your goals and the way you operate.
Before every launch
Eight checks that catch the problems most backends only discover in production.
05 / How I work
You always know what I am doing and what I need from you.
I learn your business, your data and the systems you already use.
I design the modules, the database and the API, then send a quote.
I build feature by feature with tests, and share a running version early.
I test every endpoint, check security and performance, and fix what I find.
I deploy, hand over the documentation and watch the first days closely.
I stay available for fixes, updates and the next set of features.
06 / Freelancer or agency
Without the overhead and layers of management of an agency, you get direct communication, fast decisions and a person who knows your whole system.
Freelancer (me)
Agencies and firms
Lower cost, no overhead
Higher fees from large teams
Direct, fast communication
Layers of project managers
Personal solutions
Template-based processes
Faster iteration cycles
Slower delivery timelines
Ideal for MVPs and growing businesses
Often prioritize larger clients
07 / What affects the price
I quote after I have read your requirements, and I talk through the budget with you before we begin. These are the things that move a backend quote up or down.
Every extra feature adds build and test time.
Payment, accounting or shipping services each need their own work.
Large tables and heavy reports need careful indexing.
Live updates and bidding need extra design and testing.
More roles and permissions mean more rules to build and check.
Automated tests and API docs take time and save more later.
Reading a codebase comes before changing it.
Tight deadlines or phased releases change how the work is planned.
Answers to what clients ask most before starting a backend project. Have a different question?
Ask me directlyA backend developer builds the part of your product that users do not see: the server code, the database and the APIs. It handles logins, stores and protects your data, talks to payment and other services, and keeps the front end supplied with fast, correct answers.
It depends on the product. I usually start with Laravel for business applications and SaaS, use Node.js or NestJS when real-time features or a large TypeScript codebase matter, and keep CodeIgniter for lighter projects and existing ones. I explain the trade-offs before you decide.
Yes. I can add a REST API to an existing system or build a new one for your app, with authentication, validation and documentation, so your front end team can start work without guessing.
Yes. I start by reading the code and listing the main risks in order of importance. Then we fix what matters most first, usually without a full rewrite, and I can extend it with new features, APIs and integrations.
I validate every input, check permissions for each role, keep secrets out of the code, and protect against common attacks such as SQL injection and cross-site scripting. I also review logging and backups before launch.
A focused API can take a few weeks. Larger systems take longer and are built in phases, so you can use the first part early. I give you a realistic timeline once I have seen the requirements.
It depends on the number of features, the integrations, and how much testing and documentation you need. A focused API costs much less than a full SaaS backend. After we talk I send a quote for a clear scope, and for larger systems I suggest phases.
Yes. I provide 6 to 12 months of support after launch, covering bug fixes and minor adjustments. I can also help with updates, new features and ongoing maintenance as your business grows.
