Backend work that ships — and keeps running.
I build and improve API integrations, third party integrations, data workflows, and backend systems. Clear scope, clean implementation, and verification you can trust.
Work directly with Julian Baker — principal software engineer. Practical deliverables, straightforward communication.
How engagements typically work
Clear milestones first, then build. You can stop or continue based on results.
- I’ll propose a small, concrete first milestone so you can evaluate quality quickly.
- If something is already broken, we can triage first — but the goal is a stable system, not perpetual firefighting.
- I can work project-based or on a small ongoing retainer for maintenance and improvements.
A real engineer working with you
I’m Julian Baker — a PhD-trained engineer building backend systems and Python automation for real businesses. I focus on clear scope, solid implementation, and the operational details that prevent surprises later. If you need a reliable backend partner for a small project or an ongoing system, you work with me directly.

What PyCoreOps does
Simple process, professional output
Not hype. Just solid engineering.
- No inflated promises — clear scope and deliverables.
- Practical communication: what I’m doing, why, and how we’ll verify.
- Built for real operation: logs, monitoring hooks, and predictable behavior.
Especially useful for teams that need backend momentum without hiring
- You need an API or integration done correctly (and documented).
- You want automation that saves time every week (not a fragile script).
- You inherited backend code and need it stabilized and made maintainable.
- You want a single accountable engineer instead of a marketplace.
Have a backend project? Let’s scope a first milestone.
