Hire the Best Backend Rest API Freelancers
in the United States

If your data is stuck in the wrong system, in messy files, or behind an awkward API, I can help. I turn complex data problems into working systems and usable deliverables. I help clients move data between platforms, automate manual work, clean up unreliable exports, and build workflows that save time and reduce errors. Whether the deliverable is a program they can keep using, or a clean CSV, Excel file, report, or database, I can make it happen. Most of my work is API integrations, ETL pipelines, backend automation, data processing, and data migrations. I'm at my best when the problem is not clean or perfectly defined. I'll solve that problem first. I build data workflows that are meant to hold up in real use. I work with complex APIs, big JSON or XML data files, elaborate schema, folders full of CSV and Excel files, and large datasets where correctness matters. The result is a cleaner dataset, a dependable program, or a responsive and well-designed workflow. If you need a dependable program, a solid new system, or a clean final dataset, I can help.

I build the kind of WordPress and backend systems that don't fit into a page builder, such as custom plugins, REST API integrations, MySQL-backed application logic, and the engineering layer that ties the rest of a business's stack together. Most of my clients come to me when: ◆ Their site is too complex for junior developers ◆ Plugins don't do what they need and someone has to write real code ◆ They need a system, not just a website ◆ Performance is poor and things keep breaking ◆ They need a senior engineer to own the technical side --- Proven Track Record --- "Jacob is 100% the best freelancer I've ever hired." ⎻ Andrew Epprecht, Phase5Analytics "You're an incredible WordPress developer… now our site is lightning fast." ⎻ Denise Deverelle, Multifamily Utility Company "Went above and beyond. One of my best experiences on Upwork." ⎻ Ryan Jordan, XNEffect "Gets things done faster than any developer I've ever worked with. And done well." ⎻ Chris Johnson, CTO, CrisisTextLine --- What I Do Best --- Custom WordPress Development ◆ Custom plugins built around specific business logic ◆ Custom Gutenberg blocks and modern block themes ◆ WooCommerce customizations and integrations ◆ Headless / API-driven WordPress architectures ◆ Performance, Core Web Vitals, and security hardening API & Integration Development ◆ REST API design and third-party API integrations ◆ Payment gateways and external service connections ◆ Custom internal tools and admin dashboards ◆ Data synchronization and workflow automation ◆ Bridging WordPress with external SaaS, ERPs, and CRMs Backend Engineering ◆ PHP application development beyond CMS contexts ◆ MySQL schema design and query optimization ◆ Refactoring legacy codebases into something maintainable ◆ Custom business logic and workflow engines ◆ Production-grade architecture for systems that need to scale --- Who I Work Best With --- I'm a great fit if you: ◆ Need a senior engineer who can take real ownership of the technical side ◆ Have a growing business with real technical challenges, not a side project ◆ Care about code quality, maintainability, and long-term stability ◆ Want a long-term technical partner, not the cheapest hourly rate I work with a small number of clients at a time, so each engagement gets the attention it deserves. --- Who I'm Not a Fit For --- I'm probably not the right developer if: ◆ You're looking for someone to wire up Elementor, Divi, or another page builder ◆ Your project is a simple theme tweak or one-off plugin installation ◆ You want the lowest hourly rate available on Upwork ◆ You need design, copywriting, or UX work That's not a knock on those projects. They just aren't the kind of work I'm built for, and there are excellent freelancers on Upwork who specialize in them who'll be a better fit than I would. --- How I Work --- I work best on ongoing engagements, such as monthly retainers, multi-month projects, or technical-lead partnerships where I can take real ownership of the codebase. Short, one-off task gigs usually aren't a good fit on either side, though I'll occasionally take on a well-scoped project as a working trial. I communicate clearly, set realistic timelines, and take full responsibility for my work. --- Let's Talk --- If you need a senior developer who can actually solve hard problems, in WordPress, in PHP, or in custom backend systems, click the "Invite to Job" button and tell me what you're trying to accomplish.

I've spent 11 years working with clients of all sizes across a lot of different industries. That breadth means I can adapt quickly to just about any app idea and pick up new domains fast. I know the grind of building out a first MVP and I know how to jump into an existing codebase and find the path of least resistance to get it fixed. Both sides of that equation. What I like most is looking at the long-term picture - planning different stages, thinking through feature releases, watching an app grow. Most of my best client relationships have lasted years because of that. It's good for them and honestly it represents stability for me too. That alignment tends to produce better work. If you're looking for someone to own the mobile side of your product and stick around, send me a message. — Quentin H.
