I build backend APIs in Python โ€” clean, working endpoints your app or frontend can rely on. Most of my work is REST APIs with Django and FastAPI, and I'm comfortable taking a feature from the idea to a working endpoint. What I can help with: REST APIs โ€” building and extending APIs with Django REST Framework or FastAPI: clear endpoints, validation, error handling, and documentation. Database work โ€” PostgreSQL and MySQL: designing tables, writing queries, indexing, and migrations. Practical data work that fits what you're building. Integrations โ€” connecting third-party APIs and services into your backend: payments, external APIs, webhooks. Background tasks โ€” Celery and Redis for jobs that run in the background, like emails, exports, or scheduled work. Fixing and extending โ€” picking up an existing Django or FastAPI project, adding features, or cleaning up messy code without breaking what already works. I'm a good fit for: - New APIs, or adding endpoints to an existing backend - Smaller or well-defined backend tasks you want done properly - Extending or fixing a Django/FastAPI project - Clean code you or your team can build on later I keep things simple and do the task properly. Tell me what you need and I'll help you get it working. Tech: Python, Django, FastAPI, PostgreSQL, MySQL, Redis, Celery, Docker

I used to be the person on the support team fielding the same integration question five times a day - because the docs never explained it properly. That's what pulled me into technical documentation engineering. Not theory. The actual gap between what a product does and what a developer or non-technical end-user can figure out from the docs alone. Since then, I have spent my time cleaning up that gap for SaaS companies. I write and structure API documentation that developers can actually follow without pinging support - OpenAPI/Swagger specs, endpoint references, authentication guides, quickstarts, and the kind of "Getting Started" pages that stop a new user from bouncing in the first five minutes. A good chunk of my recent work has also been in n8n - documenting custom nodes, workflow logic, and automation setups so that teams (and their clients) understand exactly what's running under the hood and why. I like this kind of work because it sits right at the intersection of technical accuracy and plain-English clarity - you need both, or the doc is useless. {What I bring to your project}: - API documentation (OpenAPI/Swagger, REST, Postman collections) - SaaS product docs, help centers, and onboarding guides - n8n workflow and node documentation - Rewriting/auditing existing docs that are outdated, inconsistent, or just confusing If your product works but your documentation is quietly costing you support tickets, churn, or dev time - that's exactly the kind of mess I like sorting out. Send me a message and tell me what you're working with. ------------------------------------------------------------------- {My Background and Skillset} With a strong background in software engineering and web development, I understand the systems behind the documentation. This allows me to work directly with APIs, codebases, product teams and technical stakeholders to create accurate, well-structured documentation that stays useful as products evolve. ๐Ÿ”น User Guides | How-to Guides I create clear, task-focused documentation that helps users understand your product, complete workflows efficiently, and reduce dependency on support teams. โœ… User guides โœ… How-to guides โœ… Step-by-step tutorials โœ… Product onboarding guides โœ… Feature walkthroughs โœ… Knowledge base articles โœ… FAQs and troubleshooting guides โœ… Internal process documentation โœ… User manuals โœ… Visual workflows and screenshots ๐Ÿ”น API Documentation (OpenAPI / Swagger Expert) I create complete, production-ready API documentation that includes: โœ… Clear endpoint descriptions โœ… Request body parameters โœ… Query parameters & path parameters โœ… Authentication flows (JWT, OAuth, API Keys) โœ… Response structures with status codes โœ… Error codes with detailed schemas โœ… Properly defined data models โœ… Example requests & responses โœ… Postman collections โœ… SDK usage examples I work extensively with: Markdown โ€ข YAML โ€ข JSON โ€ข OpenAPI โ€ข Swagger โ€ข Redocly โ€ข Postman โ€ข GitHub โ–ช๏ธŽ ReadMe โ€ข Google Docs โ–ช๏ธŽ Zendesk โ€ข Docusaurus Your APIs will not only function well - they will be understood instantly. ๐Ÿ”น Developer & Technical Documentation I create: โœ… Developer Guides โœ… API References โœ… SDK Documentation โœ… Integration Guides โœ… Database Documentation (SQL & NoSQL) โœ… System Architecture Documentation โœ… Technical Blogs & Articles โœ… Internal Engineering Documentation โœ… System Operating Procedures (SOPs) โœ… User Manuals โœ… How-To Guides โœ… Step-by-Step Tutorials Whether your audience is developers, internal teams or non-technical users - I adapt tone, depth and structure accordingly. ๐Ÿ”น Developer Portals & Documentation Platforms I build structured, branded documentation portals using: โœ… Redocly โœ… ReadMe โœ… GitBook โœ… Docusaurus โœ… Mintlify โœ… Stoplight โœ… Confluence โœ… GitHub I ensure your documentation is searchable, scalable, version-controlled, and beautifully structured. ๐Ÿ”น Technical & Engineering Strength My technical capabilities allow me to go beyond surface-level writing: โœ… Testing and validating APIs with Postman โœ… Running and testing SDKs โœ… Code commenting and codebase documentation โœ… JavaScript & TypeScript documentation โœ… Python code refactoring & documentation โœ… REST API workflows โœ… JSON, YAML, HTML, CSS โœ… Database structure documentation (SQL | NoSQL) Because I understand the code, I document it accurately. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ##TechnicalDocumentationEngineering #TechnicalWriting #TechnicalDocumentation #UserDocumentation #UserGuides #APIDocumentation #OpenAPI #Swagger #SOPWriting #KnowledgeBase #DeveloperDocumentation #InstructionManual #ProcessDocumentation #SoftwareDocumentation #Markdown #GitBook #n8n #n8nAutomation

REST API Developers Hiring FAQs

If youโ€™re new to APIs (application programming interfaces), it wonโ€™t be long until you come across REST. Short for REpresentational State Transfer, REST is an architectural style for facilitating communication between computer systems across a network.

What is REST?

REST is an architectural style that describes how distributed applications should interact with one another. But to truly understand what REST is, you first need to understand two concepts:

  1. Resources, which are like the nouns of the webโ€”they describe the โ€œthingsโ€ a client might want to pull from a server (e.g., the documents and files that make up a web page).
  2. HTTP verbs, which are the verbs of the webโ€”they describe the โ€œactionsโ€ you can take on a resource, such as GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE.

ย REST provides a set of architectural constraints that, when applied as a whole, emphasizes scalability of component interactions, generality of interfaces, independent deployment of components, and intermediary components to reduce interaction latency, enforce security, and encapsulate legacy systems.

REST API developers use the REST architectural style to develop APIs that facilitate communication between computer systems across a network. REST stands for REpresentational State Transfer.

How do you hire a REST API developer?

You can source REST API developers talent on Upwork by following these three steps:

  • Write a project description. Youโ€™ll want to determine your scope of work and the skills and requirements you are looking for in a REST API developers.
  • Post it on Upwork. Once youโ€™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 REST API Developers. Once the proposals start coming in, create a shortlist of the professionals you want to interview.ย 

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

How much does it cost to hire a REST API developer?

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

  • An experienced REST API developers 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 REST API developers services more competitively.

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

How do you write a REST API developer job post?

Your job post is your chance to describe your project scope, budget, and talent needs. Although you donโ€™t need a full job description as you would when hiring an employee, aim to provide enough detail for a contractor to know if theyโ€™re the right fit for the project.

Job post title

Create a simple title that describes exactly what youโ€™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 REST API developers job post titles:

  • Need a software engineer experienced in developing RESTful APIs
  • Seeking REST API developer for WordPress website
  • REST API developers needed to develop API software integrations

Project description

An effective REST API developer job post should include:ย 

  • Scope of work: From programming to cloud computing, list all the deliverables youโ€™ll need.ย 
  • Project length: Your job post should indicate whether this is a smaller or larger project.ย 
  • Background: If you prefer experience with certain industries, software, or coding languages, mention this here.ย 
  • Budget: Set a budget and note your preference for hourly rates vs. fixed-price contracts.

REST API developer job responsibilities

Here are some examples of REST API developers job responsibilities:

  • Develop RESTful, stateless, and layered applications that make client and server interoperable
  • Manage repetitive data transfers with caching
  • Create a uniform interface between components
