Cover image for Backend API & Integration Development
I build reliable backend APIs and system integrations for workflow-heavy products with complex business rules, validations, and cross-system data flows.
I can work from existing requirements, API documentation, or an existing codebase — turning them into maintainable backend services and integrations that work reliably in production.

What I can help with

Backend API Development Design and implement REST APIs, backend services, data access, authentication, validation, and business logic.
API & System Integration Integrate third-party APIs and external systems, including authentication, data mapping, validation, error handling, retries, and reliable data flows.
Workflow & Business Logic Implement state transitions, operational workflows, permissions, validation rules, and complex domain logic — not just CRUD endpoints.
Data & Reliability Design database schemas and persistence logic with attention to transactions, consistency, failure handling, and maintainability.
Testing, Documentation & Handover Deliver tested implementation, clear API documentation, and handover notes so the system can be maintained and extended after delivery.
My primary backend stack is Java / Spring Boot, with experience across Python / FastAPI and related technologies depending on the project.
