Services

Backend engineering built for production.

I work with startups, SMEs and engineering teams on backend, infrastructure and integration projects. Custom quotes, no fixed rates.

01

Backend & APIs

Backend system design and development

Scalable REST APIs, microservices and system architectures designed for production from day one. I prioritize clean code, well-defined API contracts, and business logic decoupled from infrastructure.

Includes

  • Backend architecture design
  • REST API development and documentation
  • Automated testing (unit, integration)
  • Code review and refactoring of existing code
02

Integrations

Third-party, webhooks and legacy systems

Reliable integration with payment gateways, provider APIs, availability systems, messaging platforms and any external service. I normalize interfaces, handle errors and build resilience against third-party failures.

Process

How I work

No surprises. From first call to delivery.

1

First call (30 min)

We understand the problem, technical context and team. No commitment.

2

Technical proposal

Scope, approach, technologies and time estimate. We adjust before starting.

3

Iterative development

Incremental deliveries, continuous feedback and reviewable code at all times.

4

Delivery and support

Complete technical documentation, orderly handover and post-delivery support.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Do you work by the hour or by project?

Primarily by project with defined scope. For consulting and code review, also by monthly retainer. The model depends on what makes most sense for each client.

What size company do you work with?

From technical founders who need a solid backend from scratch, to SMEs with teams of 5-20 engineers who need specific technical support or third-party integrations. I do not work with large corporations without direct contact with the technical team.

Can you integrate into an existing team?

Yes. I can work as an external engineer integrated into the team, using their tools, processes and methodologies. I can also do code review without participating in development.

What languages can you work in?

Spanish, English, Catalan and German. No problem with international teams.

How does pricing work?

Customized for each project. After the first call I send a proposal with scope, time estimate and cost. Full transparency from the start.
