Hire a NestJS Developer
Production APIs, clean architecture, zero cutting corners.
I build NestJS backends that ship fast and hold up under production load. 7+ years of backend experience — from greenfield SaaS APIs to stabilizing systems under active users. I work in TypeScript, follow clean architecture principles, and write code that your team can maintain long after I hand it off.
What you get
What I Deliver
REST & GraphQL APIs
Modular NestJS services with proper DTOs, validation pipes, guards, and interceptors. Clean, documented, versioned.
Database design & integration
PostgreSQL with TypeORM or Prisma, query optimization, migrations, Redis caching for high-traffic routes.
Auth & security
JWT / OAuth2 authentication, role-based access control, rate limiting, input sanitization, security headers.
Real-time features
WebSocket gateways for live data — auction prices, chat, notifications, real-time dashboards.
Microservices & queues
Event-driven architecture with message queues, service-to-service communication, and graceful error handling.
CI/CD & deployment
Dockerized NestJS apps with GitHub Actions pipelines, zero-downtime deployments on AWS or your infrastructure.
Is this right for you?

How long does it take to build a NestJS backend?
A standard CRUD API with auth, PostgreSQL, and deployment takes 2–4 weeks. A complex system with real-time features, third-party integrations, and microservices is typically 6–12 weeks. I scope every project before we start so you know exactly what to expect.
Do you work with existing NestJS codebases?
Yes. I regularly take over codebases — fixing architecture issues, improving performance, adding features, or migrating from plain Express to NestJS. I start with an audit so we both understand the scope before any work begins.
What database do you recommend with NestJS?
PostgreSQL for most production systems — it handles relational data, JSON columns, and scales well. I use Prisma or TypeORM depending on the project. For caching and session storage I add Redis. MongoDB is the right choice for truly document-centric data.
Can you handle the DevOps side too?
Yes. I containerize with Docker, set up GitHub Actions CI/CD, and deploy on AWS (ECS, EC2, or Lambda). You get a production-ready system, not just code that runs locally.
Do you work hourly or fixed price?
Both. Fixed-price for well-scoped projects; hourly retainer for ongoing work or projects with evolving requirements. I take 1–2 clients at a time to ensure quality.
