BACKEND & API DEVELOPMENT

The engine behind the product, built to hold up.

Server-side systems and APIs in C# and ASP.NET Core — the part users never see but the whole product depends on. Clean REST APIs, real authentication, background jobs, integrations and a database designed to stay fast as the data grows. Built for correctness under real load, not just a demo. Remote, worldwide.

APIs and services that other systems can trust.

A backend is judged on the day it's under load, not the day it's demoed. Here's the kind of server-side work I build, with the reliability baked in.

SHIPPED IN PRODUCTION

REST APIs & web services

Clean, versioned Web APIs on ASP.NET Core — the same foundation running under my live multi-GDS travel platform, front to back.

AUTH

Authentication & authorization

JWT and OAuth, role- and claim-based access, refresh tokens and multi-tenant isolation — security designed in, not bolted on later.

ASYNC

Background jobs & schedulers

Queues, retries and scheduled work with Hangfire — for emails, refunds, syncs and anything that must survive a failed attempt.

INTEGRATIONS

Third-party integrations

Payment gateways, supplier and GDS feeds, and REST / SOAP / gRPC services made to talk to each other reliably. See GDS integration →

DATA

Data access & databases

SQL Server schemas, EF Core and Dapper, tuned queries and clean migrations — the layer everything else sits on. See database work →

OBSERVABILITY

Logging, monitoring & audit

Structured logging with Serilog, health checks and audit trails — so when something goes wrong at 2am, the answer is in the logs.

INCLUDED

What every backend build includes

The parts that make a backend trustworthy are the ones you can't see in a demo. Every build ships with them from the start.

  • Clean-architecture Web API with clear layers
  • Authentication, authorization & multi-tenancy
  • Input validation & consistent error handling
  • Background jobs, queues & retries
  • Structured logging & health checks
  • Database schema, migrations & tuned queries
  • API documentation (OpenAPI / Swagger)
  • Tests around the logic that matters

WHY ME

One engineer, the whole stack

The person designing your API also designs the database under it and the frontend that consumes it — so nothing gets lost in handoffs between specialists.

  • A real multi-GDS platform in production, built solo
  • APIs designed for the frontend that will actually use them
  • Money and booking logic done idempotently, not hopefully
  • Built to add features later without a rewrite
  • Honest scope and a clear quote up front
  • You own all the code — no lock-in

From requirements to a running API, in five steps.

01

Scope

What the system must do, who calls it, and how it fails safely. We agree what's in — and what isn't — so the quote is honest.

02

Design

The API contract, the data model and the auth model — agreed before code, because this is where rework hides.

03

Build

Endpoints, jobs and integrations built in clean layers, with previews as we go so you're never surprised.

04

Harden

Validation, edge cases, retries and load — the failure paths tested, not just the happy path.

05

Deploy & support

Ship it, wire up logging and monitoring, and stay on to add features as you grow. See support options →

The thinking behind the build.

Write-ups and related services that show how I approach backend work — the architecture, the integrations, and the data layer underneath.

Need a backend or an API built?

Tell me what the system needs to do and what it has to talk to — a rough idea is enough. You'll get an honest scope and a clear quote, with no pressure.
