Buffdudes

Fitness & workout-tracking platform · 60K+ users

Mobile workout-tracking platform with social feed, progress analytics, and paid subscriptions. I built the entire backend solo.

  • Composite index on user_workouts cut query time from ~4s to ~200ms
  • Redis caching for leaderboards; fixed N+1 in the social feed endpoint
  • Migrated heavy cron jobs to background services, eliminating overlap issues
  • CI/CD via GitHub Actions → AWS Elastic Beanstalk + RDS, fronted by Nginx + Redis
  • Node.js
  • TypeScript
  • Express
  • TypeORM
  • PostgreSQL
  • Redis
  • Stripe

How working with me goes

No black box, no surprise invoices. You see working software every week.

01

Scope call

A short call to understand what you’re building and where it hurts. You leave it with a clear plan — even if we don’t work together.

02

Milestones, fixed

Work is broken into milestones with defined deliverables. You always know what’s being built next and what it costs — no surprise invoices.

03

Ship weekly

You see working software every week, not a status update. Scope changes get a quick estimate before any work starts.

04

Handoff

Clean code, docs, and a deployment that runs. You own everything. I stay on for support if you want it.

Ways to work together

Founders with an idea who need it shipped.

  • Backend, API & database

Scale & fix

Live products that are slow, breaking, or costing too much.

  • Performance audit
  • Query & infra optimization
  • Bug & stability fixes
  • CI/CD & monitoring

Ongoing partner

Teams that need a senior hand, continuously.
