How long does a typical project take?

Timelines vary by scope. A small web app takes 4-8 weeks, a medium full-stack project 2-4 months, and enterprise-grade systems 4-8 months. As a freelance developer, I provide a detailed timeline during the Discovery phase and keep you updated at every sprint.

Do you work with startups or only enterprises?

I work with everyone — from early-stage startups building their MVP to established enterprises modernizing their systems. As a freelance developer, my flexible engagement models adapt to your needs and budget. I'm especially passionate about helping startups launch their first product.

What happens after the project is launched?

Every project includes post-launch support (duration depends on the scope). I handle bug fixes, monitoring, and minor updates. For ongoing needs, I offer freelance retainer packages and dedicated hourly/monthly arrangements.

How do you ensure code quality?

Every line of code goes through peer code reviews, automated testing (unit + integration), linting, and security scans. I follow clean architecture principles and industry best practices. As a freelance developer, my reputation depends on the quality I deliver.

Can you work with our existing team?

Absolutely. I offer staff augmentation, pair programming, and consulting models where I integrate directly with your team. I adapt to your tools, processes, and communication channels. Many clients hire me as a freelance extension of their in-house team.

What technologies do you use?

I specialize in Java, Spring Boot, React, Next.js, TypeScript, PostgreSQL, Redis, Docker, Kubernetes, and Kafka. But I choose technologies based on what's best for your specific project, not one-size-fits-all.

How do I hire you as a freelance developer?

Simply reach out via the contact form or email. We'll start with a free 30-minute consultation to understand your project. I'll then provide a detailed proposal with timeline, cost, and approach. You can hire me for fixed-price projects or on an hourly/monthly basis.

What are your freelance rates?

Every project is unique, so I provide custom quotes based on scope, complexity, and timeline. I offer competitive freelance rates for startups and businesses of all sizes. Contact me for a free estimate — no obligation.

Do you offer ongoing freelance support and maintenance?

Yes! I offer flexible freelance retainer packages for ongoing development, maintenance, monitoring, and feature additions. Many of my clients maintain long-term freelance relationships for continuous product evolution.

Do you sign Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDA) and transfer IP rights?

Yes, 100%. I sign a strict NDA before discussing sensitive project details. Upon full payment, 100% of the intellectual property (IP) rights, source code, design files, and deployment assets belong entirely to you.

FXEmpire - Financial Markets & Trading Platform

API & Server-Side DevelopmentFocus

Financial MarketsDomain

Multi-Asset Market DataData Coverage

10M+ Active UsersPlatform Scale

The Challenge

FXEmpire operates a large financial publishing and market-data platform covering forex, commodities, stocks, indices, cryptocurrencies, and ETFs. The platform combines financial news and analysis with real-time market information, trading tools, calendars, screeners, and other data-driven features used by traders and investors. My involvement was focused specifically on the backend side of the platform, supporting the APIs and server-side functionality required to deliver reliable financial data and application features without representing the entire FXEmpire product as my work.

The Solution

As a backend contractor, I worked on server-side functionality and API development supporting FXEmpire's financial-market platform. My focus was on building and improving backend services responsible for handling application requests, structuring financial data for frontend consumption, and integrating backend logic with market-oriented features. I worked within the existing platform architecture rather than owning the complete product, contributing specifically to the backend layer that supports data-driven experiences such as market information, financial instruments, and trading-related functionality. The work required attention to API reliability, data consistency, performance, and clean separation between backend services and the user-facing application.

Key Features

Backend APIs supporting financial-market application features

Server-side processing and delivery of structured market data

Integration of backend services with frontend financial tools

API endpoints for financial instruments and market-oriented functionality

Data validation and transformation for application consumption

Performance and reliability improvements within the backend layer

The Outcome

My contribution strengthened the backend layer supporting FXEmpire's data-driven financial platform. The work helped provide reliable server-side functionality for a product serving millions of users and handling large volumes of financial information across multiple asset classes. FXEmpire currently reports 10M+ active users, 20K+ live financial prices, and 250K+ published articles.

EDEN - Autonomous Creative AI Studio

The generative AI space is dominated by single-shot prompt-and-response tools: type a prompt, get an image, close the tab. Eden set out to build something more ambitious: a platform where creators could build persistent, autonomous AI agents with their own personalities, their own custom-trained visual models, and the ability to collaborate with humans and with each other on multi-step creative work. That meant solving problems the space doesn't have textbook answers for yet — training custom visual models on user-provided samples at reasonable cost, running a workflow ecosystem where community-contributed ComfyUI pipelines could be called autonomously by agents and earn their creators revenue, giving agents context, tools, and identity that persist across sessions, and building all of it on an open-source foundation so the platform stays extensible.

KeepComing - Digital Loyalty Platform for Independent Shops

Small independent businesses — cafes, restaurants, salons, barbers, retail shops — run on regulars. The paper punch card is the oldest, most reliable retention tool in that world, and also the most fragile: cards get lost, forgotten, or thrown in a drawer. Every existing digital alternative asked customers to download yet another app, which is exactly the friction that kills adoption at the counter. KeepComing set out to build something a customer could opt into in under fifteen seconds, with no download, no account setup, and no card to lose, using infrastructure they already carry: Apple Wallet and Google Wallet. It also targeted a segment most SaaS loyalty tools ignore, independent shops, because average revenue per customer is too small for enterprise sales motions.
