Overview

What is API Development?

A great product needs a great API. I architect and build backend services that are secure, well-documented, and built to scale — whether you need a simple REST API or a complex microservices architecture. Every endpoint ships with tests, docs, and proper error handling.

Clean Architecture

MVC/layered architecture for maintainable, testable codebases.

Secure by Default

JWT auth, rate limiting, input validation, and OWASP best practices.

Well Documented

OpenAPI/Swagger documentation generated automatically.

Scalable Design

Stateless services, connection pooling, and horizontal scaling support.

Who is this for?

  • Mobile apps needing a backend
  • Frontend teams without backend expertise
  • Products integrating third-party services
  • Businesses automating internal workflows

Lighthouse 95+ scores are non-negotiable. Every project is optimized for speed and Core Web Vitals.

Clean, Maintainable Code

TypeScript, clear architecture, and comprehensive documentation mean your team can own the codebase.

Security Built In

OWASP best practices, input validation, and proper auth from the first line of code.

On-Time Delivery

Clear milestones, transparent communication, and no scope creep surprises.

Post-Launch Support

I stay available after go-live. Bugs, questions, and quick iterations are always handled promptly.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know before we start working together.

I primarily build REST APIs but can also implement GraphQL APIs with Apollo Server. The choice depends on your frontend requirements and data complexity.

Security is built in from day one: JWT authentication with refresh tokens, role-based access control, rate limiting, CORS configuration, input sanitization, and SQL/NoSQL injection prevention.

Yes — all APIs are documented using Swagger/OpenAPI 3.0 with interactive docs, request/response examples, and authentication flows.

Absolutely. Full-stack development is my primary offering — I can design, build, and deploy both the API and the React/Next.js frontend as a unified project.

I work with MongoDB, PostgreSQL, MySQL, and Redis. Database choice is guided by your data structure, scale requirements, and team expertise.
