Urgent Node.js Web App Build

I’m looking for a skilled Node.js developer who can start right away and take full ownership of building a production-ready web application. The core goal is clear: deliver a solid, scalable Node.js backend that serves a modern web interface.

Here’s what I need from you:
• Set up the project structure (preferably Express or a comparable lightweight framework) with clean, well-commented code.
• Advise on and integrate the most suitable database layer.
• Establish routing, middleware, and any environment configuration required for a smooth deployment flow (dev, staging, production).
• Collaborate with me to refine any missing feature details and map them into a clear sprint plan so that we keep velocity high.

I can share the domain concept and user flows on kickoff; you’ll translate that into backlog tickets and begin shipping. Continuous communication (Git commits, brief daily updates) is essential because timing is critical.

Deliverables:
1. Source code in a Git repository with readable commits.
2. A running demo on my chosen host (Heroku, Vercel, or similar).
3. A concise README explaining setup, env variables, and deployment steps.

If you thrive in fast-moving projects and can demonstrate previous Node.js web applications you’ve built, let’s get started immediately.
