Software engineering & web development.
I am Giorgos Moustakas, a freelance software engineer and web developer. I work with startups and small teams across the EU, the US, and Dubai, remotely and async-first. Python backends, full-stack web apps, and AI automation, scoped to fixed quotes and shipped in milestones, no hourly surprises.
/What I build.
Full-stack apps
From Postgres up to the React you click on. Next.js shops, Flask APIs, the boring middle layer that holds it all together.
Backend that holds
Python and PHP services that survive bad networks, ugly inputs, and Monday-morning load spikes. Tested. Logged. Observable.
AI automation
Claude Code power user. I build with AI across the full cycle and can bring that into your workflow: LLM pipelines, eval harnesses, agentic automation, code generation setups for the repetitive parts.
Cleanups & rescues
Inherited code on fire? Networking weirdness nobody can repro? I like the unglamorous work. Most things have a root cause if you keep digging.
/How we work together.
Brief
You send what you are building. I come back with questions, a fixed quote, and a timeline, usually within the week.
Build
Work in milestones you approve and pay against. Tested, logged, and observable, written in your conventions.
Handover
You get clean, documented code that is yours to keep, plus a window of support after launch.
/Questions you might have.
Backend systems, internal tools, integrations, e-commerce builds, anything that needs Python or PHP done right. I'm best on projects that are 4-12 weeks of work for one person. I turn down enterprise consulting and pure-design jobs.
It depends on the project. Pricing is per project or per contract, scoped to what you actually need. Tell me what you're building and I'll send a fixed quote upfront, paid in milestones, no hourly surprises.
Usually within 2 weeks of the brief being signed off. If something is on fire I can sometimes move faster - say so in your message.
Always. I'm based in northern Greece, EET (UTC+2). I overlap with most of EU and the Americas East Coast for live calls. Async-first for everything else.
Standard. I sign mutual NDAs before we discuss anything proprietary. Your code stays yours, your data stays yours, no portfolio entry without your written OK.
Yes - I do a lot of work as the extra hands inside small teams. I write in your style, follow your conventions, leave the codebase better than I found it.
Got a project on the bench?
Send a brief. If it is a fit, you will have a quote and timeline within the week.
