I will develop and deploy a nestjs backend API on AWS


About this gig
Your app shouldn't slow down, crash, or become impossible to maintain as it grows.
I'm Mykel, a backend developer specializing in NestJS, Node.js, PostgreSQL, Redis, and AWS. I build secure, scalable backend systems and REST APIs that are built for real users, not just demos that work on localhost.
What I can help you with:
- Building reliable REST APIs with clean, maintainable architecture
- Implementing secure authentication (JWT) and role-based access control
- Integrating AI APIs to add intelligent, automated features
- Designing databases that scale as your application grows
- Improving speed with Redis caching and performance optimization
- Deploying production-ready applications using Docker, AWS, and Nginx
Why work with me:
I focus on building backend systems that are easy to maintain, secure, and ready for real-world use. I communicate clearly, debug problems properly, and treat every project like it needs to perform in production.
Whether you need a new backend, API development, database improvements, or deployment help, I can help turn your idea into a reliable system.
Send me a message and tell me what you're building. I'll help you figure out the best approach.

FAQ
Do you have experience with real, production-level projects, or just tutorials?
Yes. My projects include real authentication systems, database design, caching, and background job processing — not just basic tutorials. I've also deployed applications to AWS using Docker and Nginx, the same setup used in real production environments.
I'm not very technical. Can you explain things in a way I'll understand?
Absolutely. I'll walk you through what I'm building in plain language, not just technical jargon, and keep you updated at every step so you always know exactly what's happening with your project.
What do you need from me to get started?
A clear description of what you're building, any specific features you need, and access to relevant accounts (like a database or hosting provider) if applicable. If you're not sure exactly what you need yet, message me and we can figure it out together.
Can you work with my existing codebase, or only build from scratch?
Both. I can build a new backend from scratch, or work within your existing codebase to add features, fix bugs, or improve performance and security.
How do revisions work?
Each package includes a set number of revisions. I'll deliver your project, you review it, and I'll make adjustments based on your feedback within the included revision rounds. Need more than what's included? Additional revisions are available as an extra.
Will I receive the source code?
Yes, full source code is included in every package, so you retain complete ownership and access to everything I build for you.
