Hire a freelance .NET developer who ships to production.
You need someone who can take a .NET project from a brief to a working system, or step into an existing codebase and be useful in the first week. I'm a full-stack engineer working in C#, ASP.NET Core and SQL Server, with React on the front end and Azure for deployment. One person across the whole stack, a fixed quote up front, and code you own outright. Remote, worldwide.
The .NET work clients bring to me.
Most projects are one of these, or a mix. Each links to the full service page.
ASP.NET Core apps & APIs
Web applications, REST APIs and the backend behind a mobile app or SaaS product: authentication, background jobs, integrations and role-based access. Backend & API development →
Legacy .NET Framework upgrades
Older ASP.NET apps on .NET Framework moved to modern .NET in safe stages, while the system stays live. Legacy .NET modernization →
Finish a project someone else started
The previous developer left and the app is half-built. I secure the code, audit it and get it to launch. How a takeover works →
SQL Server & performance fixes
Slow pages, timeouts and a database that has outgrown its design: measured first, then fixed with indexes, query rewrites and settings. Database engineering →
Payments & third-party APIs
Stripe, Razorpay and other gateways, plus ERPs, CRMs and supplier APIs over REST or SOAP, with retries and failure handling built in. Payment & API integrations →
Azure, IIS & CI/CD
Hosting on Azure App Service or IIS, automated build and deploy pipelines, logging and monitoring, so releases stop being a gamble. Azure & DevOps →
Three ways to hire me.
Pick the one that matches the work. Full details are on the pricing page.
Fixed-scope project
A defined piece of work with a clear end: a new app, an API, an upgrade. Scoped and quoted up front, paid in milestones. Most run two to twelve weeks, with a $1,200 minimum.
Monthly retainer
A set number of days each month for new features, fixes and support on a live system. Good when you need a dependable .NET developer without hiring full-time. From $1,000 a month.
Paid audit
For inherited or troubled code: a short review that tells you what state the app is really in, what it needs and what it will cost, before you commit to anything bigger. From one week.
Which kind of .NET developer should you hire?
An honest comparison. A freelancer isn't always the right answer.
| Senior freelancer | Agency | In-house hire | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Best for | Small to mid systems, upgrades, rescues, ongoing part-time work | Large builds that need several developers at once | Products with years of full-time .NET work ahead |
| Time to start | Days | One to three weeks | One to three months to recruit |
| Who writes the code | The person you spoke to | Whoever is assigned, sometimes a junior | Your employee |
| Cost shape | Pay for the work only | Developer time plus management overhead | Salary, benefits and equipment, all year |
| Main risk | One person; needs good docs and your own repo | Team changes mid-project | A slow, costly mis-hire |
The one-person risk is real, which is why everything I build lives in your repository from day one and is handed over with documentation. If I disappeared tomorrow, another .NET developer could carry on.
How to vet any .NET developer, including me
Whoever you hire, these checks separate developers who ship from developers who only interview well:
- Ask them to walk you through a live system they built: what it does, how it's deployed, what broke
- Ask how they'd handle a slow page. A good answer starts with measuring, not guessing
- Check they work in your Git repository, not theirs, from the first commit
- Ask what they'd test and how. "We test manually at the end" is a warning sign
- Get a written scope with milestones before paying anything substantial
- Start with a small paid task or audit before committing to the whole build
What I've built in .NET
The largest system in my portfolio is a live multi-GDS travel booking platform: an ASP.NET Core backend talking to Amadeus, Sabre and Travelport, a SQL Server database and an admin dashboard, built and maintained solo, front to back. The same approach goes into smaller builds: admin dashboards, inventory and payroll consoles, reconciliation tools and APIs for mobile apps. You can click through working demos of several of them on the portfolio page.
From first message to working software.
Talk
A free call or a few emails about what you need, what exists already and your timeline. No sales pitch.
Scope & quote
A written scope with milestones and a fixed price, so you know exactly what you're getting before anything starts.
Build
Work lands in your repository in small pieces, with a staging link you can click through as it takes shape.
Test & deploy
Automated tests where they matter, then a scripted deployment to Azure, IIS or your own servers.
Hand over or stay on
Full source and docs handed over, or keep me on a retainer for features and support.
