API and backend development
APIs, jobs, queues, and integrations, with clean contracts and documentation.
- Typical timeline 3 to 6 weeks
- Fixed price per milestone
What we build
A backend is a set of promises: this endpoint returns this shape, this job runs once, this migration can run twice without damage. We design those promises first, write them down, and test them. Then we build in Node.js or Python, put a Postgres schema behind it that answers next year's questions, and load test before your users do.

Before you ask
What technologies do you work with?
Mostly TypeScript, React, Next.js, Node.js, Python with FastAPI, PostgreSQL, and Docker, deployed to Railway or your own cloud. React Native or Swift for mobile. Claude and OpenAI models for AI features. If you already have a stack, we usually work in it.
How do you make sure the code is good?
TypeScript or typed Python, tests on the paths that matter, CI on every branch, and a senior engineer reviewing every change before it merges. Every project ends with monitoring, error tracking, and a runbook.
Do you handle deployment and hosting?
Yes. We set up CI/CD, hosting on Railway or your preferred cloud, domains and SSL, monitoring, logging, and error tracking. Everything is in your accounts.
Can you work with my existing codebase?
Yes. We start with a code review and a ranked list of risks, then propose what to fix and what to leave alone. We keep what works.
