I am a FULL STACK ENGINEER with strong experience in building scalable, cloud-based applications using ReactJs, NextJs, JavaScript, Python, Ruby, AWS, NodeJS, NestJS, MongoDB, Stripe, Twilio, OpenAI, iElevenLabs and more. Over the past few years, I have led the development of froentend & backend systems for web and mobile apps, including a social media platform MVP where I designed and implemented serverless architecture using AWS Lambda, API Gateway, S3, and DynamoDB. This allowed the platform to scale smoothly and stay cost-effective. My core strength lies in designing RESTful APIs, setting up database structures, and writing clean, efficient code that performs well even under high traffic. I regularly work with MongoDB and have a solid understanding of database design, indexing, and query optimization. I also have hands-on experience in authentication systems, role-based access control, and integrating third-party APIs. I enjoy solving complex problems and making backend systems faster, more secure, and easier to maintain. I’m comfortable working independently or with cross-functional teams, and I often collaborate with frontend developers to ensure the entire application works smoothly from end to end. While my main focus is backend, I also have experience with React, which helps me understand how backend and frontend connect. If you're looking for someone who can take ownership of the end to end development, set up reliable cloud infrastructure, and deliver robust and well-documented APIs — I’d love to help.

I've delivered 6,700+ hours and $100K+ on Upwork with a 5.0 rating across 23 jobs, building production Vue/Nuxt/Next.js apps and, more recently, AI-powered products end to end. Most recently I built Zvid, an AI video/image creation platform: a browser-based editor, a rendering pipeline, a validated JSON project schema, stock-media integrations, and an MCP/API layer that lets AI assistants generate videos programmatically. I designed the architecture, built the editor and rendering infrastructure, and shipped it to production. What I do best: Front-end: Vue 2/3, Nuxt, Next.js, React, TypeScript, Tailwind, complex SPAs, dashboards, editors, e-commerce Back-end: Node.js, GraphQL, REST APIs, PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, Redis AI integration: LangChain, LangGraph, RAG pipelines, OpenAI/Anthropic APIs, AI agents, MCP servers Automation: n8n workflows connecting your CRM, email, and internal tools Why clients keep me around: my three largest Upwork contracts ran 3,709, 1,896, and 320 hours, clients hire me for a task and keep me for years. I answer within 0–4 hours, write clean, tested code, and explain technical trade-offs in plain language. I'm also in the top ranks on Stack Overflow (17,800+ reputation, 930+ answers), so debugging hard problems is literally what I do for fun. A good fit if you need: a SaaS product built or rescued, AI features added to an existing app, an LLM agent or chatbot that actually works in production, or business processes automated with n8n. Send me a message with what you're building, I'll reply with a concrete plan, not a template.

MongoDB Developers Hiring FAQs

What is MongoDB?

MongoDB is a popular NoSQL database for storing data in JavaScript Object Notation (JSON). It was launched in 2009 to give developers an unstructured data-friendly alternative to relational databases such as MySQL that store structured data in columns and rows. 

How do you hire a MongoDB developer?

You can source MongoDB talent on Upwork by following these three steps:

  • Write a project description. You’ll want to determine your scope of work and the skills and requirements you are looking for in MongoDB developers.
  • Post it on Upwork. Once you’ve written a project description, post it to Upwork. Simply follow the prompts to help you input the information you collected to scope out your project.
  • Shortlist and interview MongoDB developers. Once the proposals start coming in, create a shortlist of the professionals you want to interview. 

Of these three steps, your project description is where you will determine your scope of work and the specific type of MongoDB developer you need to complete your project.

How much does it cost to hire a MongoDB developer?

Rates can vary due to many factors, including expertise and experience, location, and market conditions.

  • An experienced MongoDB developer may command higher fees but also work faster, have more-specialized areas of expertise, and deliver higher-quality work.
  • A contractor who is still in the process of building a client base may price their MongoDB development services more competitively. 

Rates typically charged by MongoDB developers on Upwork are:

  • Beginner: $20 per hour
  • Intermediate: $36 per hour
  • Advanced: $120 per hour

Which one is right for you will depend on the specifics of your project. 

How do you write a MongoDB developer job post?

Your job post is your chance to describe your project scope, budget, and talent needs. Although you don’t need a full job description as you would when hiring an employee, aim to provide enough detail for a contractor to know if they’re the right fit for the project.

Job post title

Create a simple title that describes exactly what you’re looking for. The idea is to target the keywords that your ideal candidate is likely to type into a job search bar to find your project. Here are some sample MongoDB developer job post titles:

  • Back-end developer needed for a MEAN (MongoDB, Express, Angular, Node.js) project
  • Seeking a MongoDB developer experienced with React Redux
  • Full-stack developer with Flutter and MongoDB experience

Project description

An effective MongoDB job post should include: 

  • Scope of work: From database management to RESTful APIs, list all the deliverables you’ll need. 
  • Project length: Your job post should indicate whether this is a smaller or larger project. 
  • Background: If you prefer experience with certain industries, web technologies, or developer tools, mention this here. 
  • Budget: Set a budget and note your preference for hourly rates vs. fixed-price contracts.

MongoDB developer job responsibilities

Here are some examples of MongoDB job responsibilities:

  • Configuration and management of MongoDB deployments on premises and in the cloud
  • Design, development, and implementation of data architectures
  • Assist IT operations with virtualization, DevOps automation, and big data analytics pipelines

MongoDB developer job requirements and qualifications

Be sure to include any requirements and qualifications you’re looking for in MongoDB developers. Here are some examples:

  • MongoDB
  • Database management
  • Big data analytics (e.g., Spark, Hadoop)
  • DevOps automation (e.g., Ansible, Puppet)
  • Virtualization (e.g., VMware, Kubernetes)
