I’ve been building web applications for more than 10 years, mostly for startups and SaaS companies. Most of the projects I join aren’t greenfield projects. They’re products that already have users, existing code, tight deadlines, and features that need to be shipped without breaking anything. That’s the kind of work I actually enjoy. Over the years I’ve worked on React, Next.js, Node.js, PostgreSQL, Supabase, AWS and Stripe integrations. Those are simply the tools I’ve used. What matters more to me is understanding how the product works before writing code. A few examples from recent projects: • Reduced checkout abandonment by 18% after redesigning part of the purchasing flow. • Cut infrastructure costs by around 35% by rebuilding the deployment pipeline and automating releases. • Built and maintained multi-tenant SaaS applications used by growing businesses. • Integrated Stripe, Salesforce and third-party APIs into existing production systems. One thing clients often tell me is that I get up to speed quickly. I don’t need weeks to understand an existing codebase. I ask questions, understand how the system works, and start contributing as early as possible. I’m also comfortable working directly with founders, designers and product managers. Sometimes that means discussing technical solutions, and sometimes it simply means pointing out a cheaper or simpler way to build something. If you’re looking for someone to help move your product forward instead of just completing tickets, I’d be happy to have a conversation.

If you have an existing Java/Spring project that needs development or maintenance, send me the details and I’ll take a look.

👨‍💻 Backend Node.js Developer (5+ years) specializing in high-performance systems, AI/LLM integration, and secure API architecture. 🛠️ Core Tech Stack: Node.js, NestJS, Express, TypeScript, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis 🔌 Integration Expert: Deep experience with third-party payment systems, disbursement APIs, and secure webhook architectures 🚀 Production-Ready: I don't just ship features — I build secure, maintainable backend systems that survive real-world traffic 🤝 Technical Partner: I bridge the gap between business requirements and clean, scalable backend code As a Backend Node.js Developer, I'm the person you call when you need to move from a prototype to a production-grade system — whether it's architecting a complex payment flow, integrating LLM/RAG capabilities into your product, or stabilizing a backend that's struggling to scale. I focus on the "how" as much as the "what." Here is how I add value to your project: 1. Backend & API Architecture (Node.js, NestJS, Express) Designing robust APIs that handle authentication, complex permissions, and business logic. Specialized in secure third-party integrations — payment gateways, disbursement systems — including signature generation and sandbox-to-production migration. 2. AI & LLM Integration (RAG, Vector Search) Building RAG pipelines — document ingestion, embedding, retrieval — and integrating LLM-based agents into production workspaces, backed by custom evaluation harnesses to test and tune retrieval quality. 3. Database & Infrastructure (PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis) Designing relational and NoSQL schemas that actually scale. Optimizing queries and implementing caching layers to keep your app fast as your data and user base grow. Track record of cutting infrastructure costs by 30-40% through targeted optimization. 4. Microservices & Clean Architecture Architecting API gateways and service boundaries for complex, multi-team systems — applying Clean Architecture and DDD principles so your codebase stays maintainable as it grows. 5. System Security & Reliability Implementing secure backend standards to prevent common vulnerabilities and unauthorized access. Managing background jobs and async processing that stay stable as requirements evolve. Technical Toolbox Backend: Node.js, Express, NestJS, Loopback, TypeScript Database: PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis AI/LLM: RAG pipelines, Pinecone, LLM APIs, custom evaluation harnesses Integrations: Payment APIs, Disbursement Systems, RESTful Webhooks, gRPC Tools: Git, CI/CD, Postman, Linux When we work together, you aren't just hiring a coder — you're hiring an engineer who cares about the security and longevity of your backend. I make the technical trade-offs early so you don't pay for expensive rewrites later. 🔑 Keywords: Backend Developer, Node.js Developer, NestJS Developer, TypeScript Developer, API Developer, Microservices Architect, PostgreSQL Developer, MongoDB Developer, Redis, RAG Developer, LLM Integration, AI Backend Engineer, Payment Integration Developer, Cloud Deployment, Software Architecture, Startup Backend
