// Services

Backend engineering services, built for production

Senior, hands-on engineering across the server side, from a single API to a full platform. Engage me on contract, by the project, or as fractional backend capacity for your team.

01

Backend Development

Design and implementation of APIs and services (REST, gRPC and GraphQL), focused on correctness, performance and long-term maintainability. Clean domain models, thorough tests, and documentation your team can rely on.

  • REST, gRPC & GraphQL API design
  • Idempotent, fault-tolerant requests
  • Data modelling & query performance
  • Test coverage and CI gates
02

Cloud & DevOps

Infrastructure-as-code, containers and CI/CD pipelines on AWS and GCP, with the observability to run them confidently. Ship safely and often, with rollbacks that actually work.

  • Terraform & infrastructure-as-code
  • Docker & Kubernetes
  • CI/CD pipelines & automated releases
  • Logging, metrics & tracing
03

System Architecture

Architecture and technical strategy for systems that need to scale. Monolith-to-microservices decomposition, event-driven design, and pragmatic trade-offs documented so the whole team can move.

  • Scalable, fault-tolerant design
  • Monolith → microservices migration
  • Event-driven & message-based systems
  • Technical due diligence & reviews
04

Full-stack & Integrations

End-to-end feature delivery and resilient integrations with third-party APIs and data sources, unified behind clean internal contracts your team can build on.

  • Third-party API integration layers
  • Data pipelines & ETL
  • End-to-end feature delivery
  • Webhooks, queues & background jobs

Frequently asked questions

Do you work on a contract, project, or freelance basis?

All three. You can hire me on contract as part of your team, per project with a fixed scope, or flexibly as freelance backend capacity, whichever fits your situation best.

What does it cost to hire a freelance backend developer?

It depends on scope and involvement. I work on a day rate for ongoing engagements or a fixed price for well-defined projects. Send a short description of what you need and you’ll get a clear estimate quickly.

Can you build an API or integration for us?

Yes. Designing and building APIs (REST, gRPC, GraphQL) and integrations with third-party systems is core work, from a single endpoint to a complete integration layer with error handling, security and monitoring.

How does an API integration work?

An API integration lets two systems exchange data automatically over an agreed interface, so processes connect without manual work. I design them to handle failure, with retries, authentication and monitoring built in.

Do you work remotely or on-site in the Netherlands?

Both. I’m based in the Netherlands and work remote-friendly; for engagements in the region, on-site or hybrid is open to discussion.

Need any of this on your team?

Tell me what you’re building and how you’d like to work together.
