Backend API Development

Scalable, secure backend systems and APIs built for the real world.

I design and implement production-grade REST APIs, microservices, and backend systems using ASP.NET Core Web API and Node.js/Express. Every API is built around clean architecture principles — testable, documented, and ready to scale.

API Design & Architecture

A well-designed API is the foundation of any successful application. I follow REST best practices and clean architecture patterns to ensure your API is intuitive, consistent, and easy to evolve.

  • RESTful API design with clean resource modeling
  • Layered architecture (Controller / Service / Repository)
  • CQRS pattern for complex query separation
  • Comprehensive error handling and logging
  • Swagger / OpenAPI documentation generation
  • Versioning strategy for long-lived APIs

Security & Authentication

Security is not an afterthought. Every API I build is hardened against common attack vectors and follows the principle of least privilege throughout.

  • JWT-based authentication with refresh token rotation
  • Role-based access control (RBAC)
  • Rate limiting and request throttling
  • Input validation and sanitization
  • CORS configuration and HTTPS enforcement
  • Audit logging for sensitive operations

Performance & Scalability

I build backends that handle real-world load. This means careful database query optimization, response caching, and infrastructure designed to scale horizontally when needed.

  • Database query optimization and indexing strategy
  • Response caching (in-memory and distributed)
  • Async/await throughout for non-blocking I/O
  • Connection pooling and resource management
