Over the last 4 years of building B2B SaaS backends, I've seen simple architectural oversights cause major production headaches — like default singleton scoping in multi-tenant apps leading to cross-request leaks.
I'm currently accepting new freelance contracts and backend projects on Contra! 🚀
Available for:
• Node.js & NestJS backend architecture & microservices
• High-performance REST API development
• Database optimization & migrations (PostgreSQL, Prisma, MongoDB)
• Auth systems & third-party integrations
Technical performance engineering and Core Web Vitals optimization for comoimportarmicoche.es.
Achieved 92+ performance scores on mobile alongside 100/100 ratings in SEO, Best Practices, and Accessibility on a live production WordPress site by streamlining front-end asset delivery and eliminating backend execution bottlenecks.
Key Engineering Highlights:
• Asset Optimization: Minified, combined, and deferred non-critical CSS/JS, significantly reducing render-blocking resources and critical path latency.
• Next-Gen Media Pipeline: Implemented WebP image conversion, explicit aspect ratio dimensions to eliminate Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS), and native lazy-loading.
• Clean Architecture: Optimized dynamic database queries and custom PHP scripts to maintain near-instant Server Response Time (TTFB) without relying on heavy caching plugins.
• Core Web Vitals Targets: Focused on Largest Contentful Paint (LCP) and Interaction to Next Paint (INP) to deliver sub-1.5s real-world loading times on mobile devices.
Yeah, this was a cold run in PSI. The DB cleanup was actually huge for TTFB—dropped uncached server response under 200ms, mostly by clearing bloated wp_options and fixing custom loops. Caching handles repeat hits, but the backend fix was the main win.
We first heard about Contra through Blahomyr and his posts on LinkedIn. After doing some research, we realized that Contra is a platform that could be a great fit for our studio. Hopefully, we’ll land our first project here very soon!
Along the way my PTS score on Contra went up too, which makes this milestone even more meaningful. It’s not just about the number: it’s all the projects, clients, late nights, ideas, mistakes, and lessons that got...
