Xano consulting

Fractional Backend Partner

Senior Xano architecture, reviews and release support without a full-time hire.

You sold the project. Now you need a backend that holds up.

I work with digital and no-code agencies as a technical Xano specialist. You can count on me for architecture, implementation, integrations, rescue work, and clean client handoffs. You keep the client relationship and the margin.

Discuss an upcoming project


Does this sound familiar?

  • Your frontend team is strong, but Xano backend depth is missing in-house.
  • Quoting backend work feels like guesswork, thinking about scope, effort, risk is too daunting.
  • A project is live but slow, undocumented, or painful to extend.
  • Hiring a full-time backend specialist doesn't make sense for your project volume.
  • You've had handoffs where the client (or the next developer) couldn't maintain what was built.

If yes, that's exactly the gap I fill.


What I can own for you

White-label Xano development

I deliver under your process and your brand. Your client sees one team: yours. Clear communication with your PM, your frontend devs, and your client (only if you want me in the room, that's your call).

Pre-sales & estimation support

Bring me into discovery before you quote. I'll scope the backend, flag the risks, and give you numbers you can safely put in a proposal so that your team doesn’t get surprised later.

Overflow capacity

Your team is full, the deadline isn't moving. I slot in as senior Xano capacity for the stretch that's currently impossible to staff.

Project rescue

Late, messy, or stalled Xano project? I audit what exists, stabilize it, document it, and map the fastest credible path to done. Rescue work is where "no-code" projects most often get saved or abandoned. I favor getting them saved.

Architecture & quality review

Second pair of eyes before handoff: data models, API structure, authentication and permissions, error handling, performance. A review report your team can act on.

Handoff & enablement

Documentation, project transfer, and a walkthrough, so the client (or your team) can operate what was built without being dependent on me.


How working together feels

1. One call —> 30 minutes. You explain the client, the scope, the constraint. I tell you honestly whether I'm the right fit.

2. A scoped agreement —> fixed deliverable or a block of hours. No vague retainers, no lock-in.

3. Delivery in your workflow —> I work in your tools, your Xano account structure, your comms channel. Daily-async is normal; calls are for decisions, which are togher than those that can be just an email.

4. A clean exit —> everything documented. My goal is that you never need me for maintenance. You choose me for the next project.


Why a specialist, not another generalist

I build open-source tooling for Xano developers: the Caly-Xano CLI , a Chrome extension , and utilities for the community. That means I work inside Xano's edge cases daily: environment management, testing, versioned workflows, deployment discipline.

The difference shows up a few months after delivery, when the project still makes sense.


Fair questions

◊ Will you poach our clients?

No. Long word, short answer. I’d like to work with you again. That only works if you win.

◊ Can you work under an NDA / white-label?

Yes, that's the default mode for agency work.

◊ EU-based?

Based in Vienna, Austria. EU timezone, EU data protection mindset, GDPR-aware by default.

◊ What if the project is small?

Small and clear is great. I'd rather fix one API well than pad a scope.
