Backend for AI self-reflection application (Node.js, PostgreSQL, Firebase)
I am looking for an experienced backend developer to create a reliable API for a self-reflection mobile application with artificial intelligence (Gemini) support and voice mode. The goal is to build a stable server side for an iOS application with a freemium model, a memory journal, and push reminders.
Project and Tasks
The application already has the following features: login via Apple, text and voice reflection modes, a main screen with themes, a memory journal, push notifications, freemium/premium functionality. A backend is needed to connect all this, store it, and ensure scalability.
Main tasks for the backend:
Design and implement a REST API for the mobile client (authorization, reflection sessions, journal entries, reminder settings, premium features).
Set up database operations (PostgreSQL or similar): user models, entries, subscriptions, analytics.
Integration with AI (Gemini) and voice services via external APIs/microservices.
Implementation of freemium/premium logic: limitations on free access, storing subscription status, unlocking additional features.
Ensuring security (data protection, request limits, logging, error handling).
Technical Stack
The basic stack planned:
Backend: Node.js (preferably NestJS, Express is acceptable). Python may be used as a separate microservice for AI logic if needed.
Database: PostgreSQL (ORM: Prisma or TypeORM).
Firebase: Auth for Apple login, push notifications, analytics.
Integration with AI Gemini and voice APIs through separate endpoints/microservices (if needed, a Python service for heavy AI logic).
Deployment: Docker containers in the cloud (to be discussed — AWS/GCP/other).
A complete description of the logic, screen layouts, and access to Figma can be sent after the first communication to agree on the approach and architecture.
What I Would Like to See in the Proposal
I would greatly appreciate it if you could include in your proposal:
Your experience with Node.js (NestJS/Express), PostgreSQL, Firebase, and integrations with external APIs (AI, voice).
Examples of projects where you have developed backend for mobile applications, especially with subscriptions, AI, or voice.
When you can start working.
I am looking forward to your feedback — let’s create a sincere and useful product for self-reflection together.

3082 9 0 Good day!
I can implement your project without any problems in a few weeks, and I can start as early as Monday. I would also like to see a more detailed technical specification and stack, then I could suggest alternative solutions for more stable and efficient operation. For example, using Fastify instead of Express due to lower resource consumption, faster request processing, and the ability to handle a larger number of requests simultaneously.
Examples of work:
Relevant projects:
https://rstays.com/
— complete backend from scratch (Node.js Fastify, roles, payment, AI, real-time chat, push, Firebase Auth, mobile + web, deployment, and more)
… https://ai-desk.ai/
— backend from scratch for an AI chatbot (Node.js, payment, roles, AI, mobile + web, deployment, and more)
https://seetruth.app/
— backend from scratch on Node.js Express for a mobile application

2406 8 0 Good day, the last task in the profile was closed with an AI voice agent, I am also developing with TTS, LLM, STT models, any pipelines are not a problem. I have experience in mobile application development (front + backend), NestJs, sqlite/postgresql/supabase.
The latest application is a Productivity app, (AI tools for creating notes, plans, notion type cards). I also created a voice AI assistant for a children's fairy tale application. I use Gemini for LLM, STT, and eventLabs for voiceover (faster response).
I also have extensive experience in data embedding. In your case, for example, it is possible to quickly and cheaply find notes in journals or other objects accurately by tokens.
I would like to see your scheme to understand the architecture more precisely.

1563 4 0 1 Hello!
I have been working on backends with Node.js for several years, mainly with NestJS, sometimes with Express, and I work with PostgreSQL through Prisma and TypeORM, as well as using Firebase. I also regularly integrate external APIs such as Gemini, OpenAI, voice services, CRM, and others.
Regarding relevant projects,
I created an AI manager for a medical business that had a backend with dialogue history, sessions, scenario logic, integrations with AI, and data storage in the database.
I developed a service for restaurants with a voice bot that takes calls, recognizes speech, responds with voice, and creates reservations.
I have also created several SaaS services and mobile backends with subscriptions, freemium/premium logic, limits, roles, and analytics.
For your project, I see a clear API architecture using NestJS, PostgreSQL, and Firebase for login and push notifications, a separate module or service for AI and voice. I can design everything from scratch, establish a proper structure, and implement a stable production backend.
… I can start immediately or within the next few days.
I would be happy to look at the Figma and the complete description of the logic, after which I will propose a specific work plan and implementation stages.
