Remote-native collaboration
Structured daily standups, async updates via Slack/Linear, and weekly video check-ins when needed. Based in Japan, collaborating with teams across APAC, EU, and US.
Full-stack integration
Node.js backends paired with React/Next.js frontends, Firebase/Supabase realtime sync, and PostgreSQL or NoSQL data layers. One engineer for your entire stack from API to UI.

How it works
Requirements
Definition of content models, complete page inventory, primary user flows, and technical constraints including CMS selection, authentication requirements, payment integration needs, and internationalization strategy.

FAQ
Why should I hire you as a Node.js developer?
I have built production APIs and serverless functions with Node.js, Express, and Fastify. Expertise in API design, authentication, rate limiting, and integrating Node.js backends with React/Next.js frontends.
Do you work remotely with international teams?
Yes. I work remote-native, timezone-flexible, and async-first. Based in Japan, I collaborate with teams across APAC, EU, and US through structured standups and Slack/Linear updates.
What engagement models do you offer?
Fractional backend lead (2-3 days/week), project-based delivery (4-8 week sprints), and advisory retainers for architecture review and code audits. All engagements start with a one-week paid trial.
Can you handle full-stack delivery beyond Node.js backend?
Yes. In addition to Node.js backend development, I deliver React/Next.js frontends, Firebase/Supabase integrations, real-time sync, and ASO/SEO growth strategy. One partner from API to UI.
What are your typical rates?
Fractional lead roles start at $8,000/month for 2-3 days/week. Project-based delivery is scoped per sprint (typically $12,000–$24,000 for a 6-8 week engagement). Advisory retainers for architecture review and code audits start at $3,000/month. All engagements begin with a one-week paid trial.
How soon can you start?
Typically within 1–2 weeks of contract signature. I keep a limited client roster to ensure deep focus, so availability depends on current sprint commitments. The fastest path is booking a call to discuss scope and timeline.
Can you work in Toronto's timezone?
Yes, I fully support meetings and real-time collaboration in the EST timezone. Also available in nearby cities including Mississauga, Waterloo, Hamilton. I also use async communication for maximum flexibility.
Are your rates aligned with Toronto market rates?
My rates reflect Toronto and North America market standards while maintaining global flexibility. Monthly retainers, hourly, and project-based engagements are all available.
