REST API development
Documented, versioned APIs for your web and mobile apps.
Backend and API development for web and mobile apps
The backend is where your business rules, data and money live. I design and build REST APIs, databases and server logic that power web apps and mobile apps reliably: authentication, roles, payments, notifications, reports and integrations.
I've built backends with Laravel, FastAPI and Serverpod, put them behind the Kong API gateway, and deployed them to production servers.

Backend & API development pricing
Pricing approach
Every project is quoted after a short discovery call, as a fixed price for a clear scope or an hourly/monthly estimate for ongoing work. The main things that affect backend & API development cost:
- Number of endpoints and business rules
- Data model complexity and migrations
- Integrations (payments, messaging, third-party APIs)
- Performance, security and compliance needs
- Hosting and DevOps setup
Backend & API development FAQ
Common questions
Which backend framework should I use?
It depends on your team and product. Laravel is great for business apps and admin panels, FastAPI for Python-heavy or AI features, Node.js for real-time and JavaScript teams, and Serverpod for Flutter-first products. I'll recommend one based on your needs, not habit.
Can you build just the API for my existing app?
Yes. I can build or extend an API for an existing web or mobile frontend and document it so your team can use it.
Do you design the database too?
Yes. Database design, migrations, indexing and backups are part of every backend I build.
Can you improve a slow backend?
Yes. I profile slow endpoints and queries, add indexes and caching, and fix the root causes.
