Node.js Developer

Node.js Developer for APIs and Real-Time Backend Services

Alongside Django, I use Node.js for backend services where a JavaScript-native runtime fits better: real-time features, lightweight APIs, and services that sit close to a React or Next.js frontend. It has been part of the full stack toolkit I used building SaaS and business platforms at Mars Digital.

Node.js applications I build

REST and WebSocket APIs for real-time dashboard updates

Lightweight backend services alongside a Django-powered core system

Integration and webhook handlers between third-party APIs and internal systems

Where my Node.js experience is deepest

API & service development

Node.js services scoped tightly to one job — an integration, a webhook handler, a real-time channel — rather than a second monolith.

Real-time features

WebSocket-driven updates for dashboards and notifications that need to feel live, not refreshed.

Full stack fit

Backend services that share conventions with a React or Next.js frontend, since I build both sides myself.

If your product needs real-time updates or a lightweight service layer next to a larger backend, Node.js is part of how I’d build it.
