What to look for in a Express.js freelancer
A strong Express developer keeps middleware ordered, errors handled, and routes structured as the app grows past a single file. Look for:
- Clear project structure, routes, controllers, and middleware kept separate.
- Proper error handling, with a central handler instead of scattered try/catch.
- Security awareness: input validation, auth, and safe handling of secrets.
- Database competence, writing queries that stay fast under real load.
- Node.js depth, understanding the event loop and async patterns.
Ask how a candidate structures a project once it outgrows one file. Vague answers usually mean everything ends up crammed into a single route file.
