The server side of your product, designed and built to survive scale, audits, and the next three years of feature requests.
Most backends don't fail because of traffic — they fail because early data-model and API decisions harden into walls. This service is about getting those decisions right: the schema, the API contract, the auth model, and the async architecture that everything else will be built on.
I've spent five years building exactly this layer — REST and GraphQL APIs, OAuth2/SAML auth flows, and Celery pipelines — in regulated domains where the API is audited, not just consumed. You get the architecture document alongside the code, with the trade-offs written down so your team can challenge or extend them later.
These slot into the standard engagement process — discovery, requirement analysis, and a written proposal always come first.
Workshops with your team to map entities, workflows, and invariants. The output is a data model and a glossary everyone agrees on — most API disputes are actually vocabulary disputes.
The full API surface designed and reviewed before implementation: endpoints, payloads, error semantics, versioning policy. Frontend work can start against the contract immediately.
Each week ships complete, tested endpoints to staging — auth first, then core resources, then async workflows. No six-week silence followed by a big reveal.
Load testing on the endpoints that matter, query-plan review on the slowest paths, security pass on auth and data access.
Architecture walkthrough with your engineers, OpenAPI docs, runbook, and 30 days of defect fixes.
Shipped work this service is based on — details on the projects page.
ENGAGEMENT · Runs as a fixed-scope project for a defined API build, or embedded in your team for ongoing backend ownership.
Send a short description of what you're building and where it hurts. Discovery call is free; written proposal within a week of requirement analysis.
