Is it possible to find a quality web dev for cheaper than western costs?
somebody who can make a high quality intuitive UI, backend stuff, and knows about security and how to not make slow bloated bullshit
where do I look

You already know the answer. People who know how to do these things and are willing to freelance command a premium.
Hmm.
As a related question, what sort of cost can I expect to pay someone competent to make (just as an example, it's not exactly what I'm looking for) a file upload/host website.
Imagine the following features
- file upload page, resuming if there are connection failures etc
- storage on Amazon s3 or similar
- simple account system that lists uploaded files, delete function etc (also ability to use without an account). Probably using Amazon dynamo DB
- file view page, with various sharing options
- collection of access statistics
- daemons to perform pruning, deletion of rarely accessed files etc
- maybe some system to convert files into different types before download (via ffmpeg)
- maybe daemons to auto handle copyright takedown emails, and an admin panel for this showing recent takedowns and with ability to restore files that were auto-taken down
Am I looking at $10s of K?
Also, if anyone wants to send me their portfolio and a ballpark figure/price range for the above:

I'll send you an email.
You should really learn to do it yourself, but whatever.
I also have a unique dreamsite idea, which I will never have the money to fund.
-Fluidly 3D animated user interface, it's very appealing to gamers and children.
-Seamlessly change between forum layout and imageboard layout with 1 click.
-Register accounts for mods to see your shit, but stay anonymous to everyone else.
-Ability for OP to kick posters out of his thread or shadow kick them.(mostly in shitposting boards).
-Sending private messages to your buddy anon(very useful for sending emails).
-Tripfags would not have names, just IDs.
-Integrated mini chatroom pop-up(like facebook) without a cooldown on replies. (If you ever get tired of posting and want to chat faster)
-Limited post count, edit post order, manual post loading, manual request for sound webms, automatic spam and bot filter.
-Separation of huge boards into "servers" in order to maintain a normal speed so you may not have 40 threads deleted in 4 minutes.
-Elitist version of boards. This means that mods would cherry pick every quality anon(this is why registered accounts is a good thing) and give them access to said heaven.
-An active admin who hosts events and experiments with new ideas and social constructs.(Quality crossposting, /tg/ discussing /v/ matters)

That sounds similar to the social network thing I (horribly) cobbled up together back when I started learning web development.

If you're interested in doing this I could build it again (properly).

This was my skill level as of 7 months ago

Since then I've probably picked up a couple of other things as well.
Pay pajeet , but offer him double his hourly if it is good ...
And more work to come at higher pay If you are happy with the quality of his work ..
>>1644366
Where do you find pajeets? Those coder for rent sites?
>>1644070
I would do this for 10k$, except for visual design.
You could get it done for cheaper probably, though the lower you go the more risk there is.

This. I could do that for $500, but I wouldn't recommend that.

There's some cheap guys in Eastern Europe that are pretty good.
I had a web developer from Poland help me a lot. He worked for like $10/hr. Which is substantially less than an American would charge.

One more tip:
do a before and after payment. Pay some up front, some in the middle, and some at the end.
So that way they don't run off.
It also helps to do a Skype video call first to make sure they are legit.
These are all things I do.
