I turn a business process nobody has written down properly into a design an engineer can build — then stay through implementation. The one I point to most: a single sign-on ecosystem I designed and built for 2,600+ users across Java, PHP and .NET. 13+ years, mostly enterprise and public-sector systems. What that has looked like: • Single Sign-On ecosystem (PT Perkebunan Nusantara IV) — initiated and designed the ecosystem where no prior internal effort existed, built the Java EE core myself, and designed the Portal and Access Management components. Two phases, roughly three months, six people. Replaced separate logins for 2,600+ users across Java, PHP, and .NET applications. • Performance management rebuild (PT Perkebunan Nusantara IV) — led a seven-person team rebuilding an appraisal system on Java EE, Service-Oriented Architecture, and SQL Server stored procedures. Four months, around 600 executive users. The data and performance failures reported against the previous version did not recur in the observed appraisal period. • Customs import integration (PT Teknoglobal) — built two Java EE flat-file parsers plus document-validation and multithreaded background-processing services for a national customs system, consuming import and banking data delivered through an IBM MQ messaging layer. I owned those modules; I did not build the messaging infrastructure and I did not lead the wider project. • Mobile content ecosystem, 2023–2026 — architected and led the v2 backend rebuild after the original could not scale past inconsistent data and a schema that resisted new features. Designed the database, coded the core processing, and led a team of QA, mobile, and web developers. A compatibility API let existing clients run against the new backend, so the cutover carried users across without significant disruption. • Most recently — specified and led a C#/.NET 8 WPF refactoring that separated the user interface from background services over gRPC, then built a REST-based Cloud Sync worker linking the desktop client to a Next.js platform. I handed that work over on completion of my scope in July 2026; the client team continues development. Since August 2026 I work independently under my own trade name, currently delivering a landing page and registration flow for a member-based organization (Go, MariaDB). Where I am useful: enterprise integration, single sign-on and access flows, internal tools and workflow systems, procurement and ERP-adjacent processes, legacy modernization, and backend work in Java, C#/.NET, or PHP/Laravel. Where I am not: SAP configuration or ABAP, mobile-first product design, data science, and anything requiring a cloud architecture certification I do not hold. I work to an agreed schedule, put delivery risks in writing early, and tell you when something I designed turns out to be wrong.

I specialize in Oracle APEX front-end development — building clean, responsive UI/UX with custom Interactive Grids, dashboards, and Tailwind CSS-based page templates — backed by strong PL/SQL and backend development skills. I currently serve as the primary developer (both frontend and backend) on a large-scale enterprise financial management system, handling everything from budgeting interfaces to REST API integrations and complex PL/SQL logic. Frontend / UI-UX (primary strength): - Custom Interactive Grid interfaces — toolbars, live totals, status filters, per-row logic - Tailored APEX themes and Tailwind CSS-based templates - Custom dashboards with real-time, data-driven visualizations - Advanced JavaScript & Ajax — client-side scripting, dynamic actions, custom UI components Backend (strong secondary): - PL/SQL development — procedures, functions, triggers, complex business validation logic - Oracle Forms to APEX migration (6i/11g/12c to APEX 24.2) - REST API integration, including e-invoicing (ZATCA) and third-party systems - Access control and authentication systems I've delivered projects ranging from quick PL/SQL scripts to a full enterprise financial system currently in progress. If you need someone who can own both the interface and the database layer, let's talk about your project.

How to Hire Top Oracle APEX Developers

What is Oracle APEX developer?

Oracle Application Express, also known as APEX, is a software development environment used to build complex web applications and is ideal for those organizations looking to create interactive, web-based applications to run on their website. Because of the web-based nature of APEX, it’s easy for companies to organize and implement a project team of developers and programmers from across the country or globe to build complex web applications. 

How do you hire an Oracle APEX developer?

You can source Oracle APEX freelance 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 an Oracle APEX developer.
  • 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.

How much does it cost to hire an Oracle APEX developer?

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

  • A contractor who is still in the process of building a client base may price their Oracle APEX developer services more competitively. 

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

How do you write an Oracle APEX 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.
