Le Duc Loc

I build backend systems that stay reliable — even when your users grow 10x.

I don't just write code. I design technical solutions that fit real business problems — from insurance platforms managing tens of thousands of contracts to trading systems processing a thousand orders per second.

What I can do for you

01

Build a backend system from scratch

For: Startups shipping fast · SMEs adding new capability

You have a product idea and need someone to turn it into a real, running system — stable, scalable, not something you'll have to rebuild in a year.

  • Architecture sized for today and your growth plan
  • APIs, data flows, business logic — all production-grade
  • Clean handover: code, docs, your team owns it after
From $1,500
02

Is your system slow or unstable?

For: Businesses running production with performance issues

Users complain it's slow, the system crashes occasionally, your team can't find the root cause — I diagnose and fix.

  • Bottleneck analysis: slow queries, memory leaks, hot paths
  • Performance tuning with measured before/after numbers
  • Outcomes you can verify — not theoretical advice
$800 – $2,500
03

Independent technical advisory

For: Founders / CEOs needing an outside engineering view

Considering a big technical investment, or unsure if your tech team is going the right way — you get an honest perspective with no solution to sell.

  • Architecture review · risk assessment
  • Technology selection aligned to your problem
  • Help asking the right questions before signing a vendor contract
$200 – $500 / session
04

Automate your deploy pipeline

For: Teams deploying manually — slow and error-prone

Every release is a stressful event — I help you automate until deploys are boring (in a good way).

  • Pipelines from commit to production
  • Containerization, monitoring, incident alerts
  • Your team operates it independently after handover
$500 – $1,500

Process

How I work

01

Listen

I spend 1–2 sessions understanding your actual problem — not just the surface-level technical ask.

Week 1
02

Clear proposal

I send a concrete scope, timeline, and cost. No hidden fees, no scope creep surprises.

Before kickoff
03

Transparent delivery

Frequent progress updates. You always know where things are — without having to ask.

During the project
04

Complete handover

Code, docs, operations guide. Two weeks of free support after handover if anything comes up.

End of project

Results

Outcomes I've delivered

Finance · Insurance

Insurance management platform serving tens of thousands of policies — after architecture and database tuning, business throughput rose 40% and production errors fell 35%.

+40% throughput
-35% production errors

High-frequency trading

Financial exchange demanding very low latency — system handles 1,000 orders/second at sub-50ms p99, stable across months of continuous production load.

1,000 orders/sec
<50ms latency

Legacy modernization

Multi-year-old data management system needed modernizing — full architectural migration completed with zero downtime, incident detection time cut in half.

-50% MTTR
Zero-downtime migration

Automation & CI/CD

Manual release process used to consume hours per cut — after introducing automated pipelines, release effort dropped 50% and deploy-induced incidents fell significantly.

Demo project

MedFlow — Smart Queue for hospitals

A real demo, built from scratch to show backend craft.

Real-time hospital queue: patients book online, check in, see their queue position with predicted ETA; doctors call next and record consultations; admin exports monthly Excel reports. All updates pushed via WebSocket in under 500ms.

  • Concurrent-safe booking: 100 patients on one slot → 0 duplicates (partial unique index at DB level)
  • State machine atomic in SQL: wrong transition → 409 Conflict, no distributed lock needed
  • WebSocket hub with multi-topic routing: each patient subscribes to their doctor's queue and receives push updates
  • ETA prediction from moving average of the last 30 consults per doctor
  • 46 tests (pure unit + testcontainers Postgres integration), type-safe SQL via sqlc
  • Multi-sheet Excel export (Summary · By Doctor · Detail) with insurance codes, fees, diagnoses
