I can support your Metin2 private server as a long term technical partner focused on stability, performance, and clean gameplay updates. I have strong experience with server side systems, database optimization, and scripting driven feature development, and I am comfortable working inside existing MMORPG codebases where reliability matters. I can handle quest and event scripting in Python or Lua, NPC and drop logic, and structured integration of community resources without introducing instability. On the backend, I will optimize MySQL or MariaDB with proper indexing, query tuning, and maintenance routines to keep the server responsive under player load. My approach is always systematic: reproduce issues, debug with clear logs, apply safe patches, and document every change so future maintenance is straightforward. I will also set up backup procedures, security hardening, and version controlled workflows using Git to keep development organized. If you share your current server status, core pain points, and the feature roadmap, I can start with an initial audit and then move into ongoing monthly support. Rate: 18 to 25 EUR per hour Availability: Flexible for long term collaboration

Hello I’m a Python backend developer with hands-on experience building production applications using Django and FastAPI. In one project, I used Django to build a full backend for a marketplace platform, including user authentication, role-based access, admin dashboards, and order management using the Django ORM and PostgreSQL. In another project, I used FastAPI to build a high-performance API for a data-driven application, where async endpoints, Pydantic validation, and background tasks were used to handle real-time requests and long-running jobs efficiently. I’ve designed clean database schemas, optimized queries, and handled migrations to support growing datasets without performance issues. I’ve also integrated third-party services such as Stripe for payments and external APIs, focusing on proper error handling and secure data flow. For deployment, I containerized these applications with Docker, set up CI/CD pipelines, and deployed them to cloud environments to ensure reliable releases. I enjoy using Python to build backend systems that solve real problems and scale smoothly as the product grows. Best regards, Francen Timothy N. Castro
