Backends & APIs
REST and SOAP services, data models, and third-party integrations that stay fast and predictable under real load.
I design and build the backends, automations, and pipelines that keep a business running — reliable systems, shipped and tested, that don't need anyone watching them.
REST and SOAP services, data models, and third-party integrations that stay fast and predictable under real load.
Scripts and scheduled jobs that take repetitive, error-prone work off your team's plate — in Python, Go, Rust, or Bash.
Docker, pipelines, and deploys set up so shipping is one boring, repeatable step instead of an event.
Accessible, fast web apps on a modern stack — Next.js, React, and TypeScript — built to hold up well past launch.
Architecture reviews, code audits, and a senior second opinion when a decision is hard to reverse.
We talk through the problem and agree on what “done” looks like before any code is written.
I work in small, tested increments you can see and steer — no big-bang reveals at the end.
It goes live behind CI/CD, with the pipeline doing the repetitive, risky parts for us.
You get docs and a clean handover, plus optional ongoing support so it keeps running.
I'm Ionut-Alexandru Popescu, a software engineer based in Romania with a backend focus. I build scalable systems with REST/SOAP APIs, CI/CD pipelines, Docker, and test-driven development — comfortable across Python, Rust, Go, C/C++, and JavaScript/TypeScript.
Tell me what you're trying to ship. I'll reply with how I'd approach it and what it would take.
