Building systems that actually work

Most backend developers write code that barely survives production. I write code that thrives under pressure.

Over ten years building systems for companies that can't afford downtime. Financial platforms processing secure transactions. Healthcare systems managing patient data. E-commerce backends handling high-traffic spikes.

The kind of work where "it mostly works" isn't good enough. Where every query matters, every second counts, and every edge case will eventually happen.

What I Actually Do

Database Architecture & Optimization

Design schemas that scale. Write queries that stay fast at 10M+ records. Set up replication, partitioning, and caching strategies that actually work in production.

PostgreSQL MySQL Redis Query Optimization

API Development & Integration

Build REST and GraphQL APIs that handle real load. Integrate with payment processors, third-party services, and legacy systems without breaking things.

REST APIs GraphQL Stripe Payment Processing

Process Automation & Workflows

Eliminate manual work that shouldn't exist. Build automated workflows, data pipelines, and background job systems that save hours daily.

Celery Queues Webhooks ETL Pipelines

How I Work

Discovery & Planning

Before writing a single line of code, I understand your business logic, data flows, and growth projections. Map out the architecture that will support your goals 12 months from now.

Typically 2-3 days of planning per month of development

Development & Testing

Write comprehensive tests first. Build in small, testable increments. Deploy to staging environments that mirror production. Performance test with realistic data volumes.

95%+ test coverage on critical business logic

Deployment & Monitoring

Set up CI/CD pipelines, monitoring, alerting, and logging. Document everything. Train your team. Be available for the critical first weeks after launch.

30-day post-launch support included

Your systems are bleeding money. Here's how I stop it.

The Six Pillars of Business Acceleration

Every successful business runs on systems. But most systems are held together with duct tape, manual processes, and the prayers of overworked employees.

I don't just build software. I engineer competitive advantages.

Backend Architecture

The Foundation That Never Cracks

What Most Companies Get Wrong

They build for today's traffic, not tomorrow's success. Their APIs break under load. Their databases become bottlenecks. Their code becomes unmaintainable technical debt.

How I Build Different

I architect for scale from day one. Clean, documented code that your future developers will thank you for. APIs that handle 10x growth. Database designs that stay fast at millions of records.

Process Automation

Your 24/7 Digital Workforce

The Hidden Cost of Manual Work

Your employees spend hours daily on repetitive tasks. Data entry, report generation, file processing. That's significant productivity loss that automation can eliminate.

My Automation Philosophy

If a human does it more than 3 times, a machine should do it forever. I build intelligent workflows that handle exceptions, adapt to changes, and scale infinitely.

Manual data processing 4 hours/day
With my automation 5 minutes/day
98.9% Time Savings

Data Intelligence

Turn Information Into Profit

Data Chaos Costs Money

Your data is scattered across 15 different tools. Reports take days to generate. Decisions are made on gut feeling instead of facts. Competitors are eating your lunch.

My Data Strategy

I create single sources of truth. Real-time dashboards that update as your business moves. Predictive analytics that spot opportunities before your competition does.

System Integration

Make Everything Talk

The Integration Hell

Your CRM doesn't talk to your accounting software. Your e-commerce platform lives in isolation. Data gets manually copied between systems. Errors multiply. Efficiency dies.

My Integration Magic

I create seamless connections between any systems. Real-time data sync. Automated workflows that span platforms. Your business runs like a single, intelligent organism.

Integration Success Story
"We had 8 different systems that couldn't talk to each other. Marjon built a central nervous system that connected everything. Now when a customer places an order, inventory updates, accounting records it, and shipping labels print automatically."

Database Architecture

The Brain of Your Business

Database Disasters

Slow queries bring your app to its knees. Poor design creates data corruption. No backup strategy means one crash destroys your business. Scaling becomes impossible.

My Database Philosophy

I design for tomorrow's data volume today. Optimized queries that stay fast at scale. Bulletproof backup strategies. Database architectures that grow with your business.

Query Response Time <50ms
Data Integrity 99.999%

Database Optimization Techniques

Query Optimization

Advanced indexing strategies and query rewriting for sub-millisecond responses.

3.2s → 45ms average improvement
🔒
Data Security

Encryption at rest and in transit, role-based access, audit trails.

Enterprise-grade protection
📈
Scaling Strategy

Horizontal partitioning, read replicas, caching layers for infinite scale.

1M → 100M records seamlessly

Technical Leadership

Strategy That Scales

Technology Chaos

Your team is stuck in analysis paralysis. Technology choices are made by gut feeling. Architecture decisions bite you later. No one sees the big picture.

My Strategic Approach

I see three moves ahead. Technology choices aligned with business goals. Architecture that supports your 3-year vision. Teams that ship faster with fewer bugs.

Code Review Efficiency +400%
Bug Reduction 85%
Team Velocity +250%

Leadership in Action

The Honest Truth

Not every project is a massive success story. I've had difficult clients, changing requirements, and technical challenges that took longer than expected. But I've never delivered broken code, missed a final deadline, or left a client without proper documentation and support.

Stop fighting your broken systems

You know that feeling when your database crashes at 2 AM? When your "simple" integration takes 3 months and still doesn't work? When you're spending more time fixing bugs than building features?

I build systems that don't break. Ever.

  • • Systems that save hours daily through automation
  • • Code so clean your future developers will thank you
  • • Someone with a proven track record of delivery
  • • A partner who speaks both tech and business
  • • Realistic timelines with built-in buffers
