I am a backend-focused Python developer with 3+ years of experience building scalable API-driven platforms, working mainly with Django/DRF, PostgreSQL, async processing, JWT/OAuth auth flows, and production-ready deployments. My approach is reliability first - clean code, predictable output, and stable performance under load. I’ve built and maintained SaaS backends, implemented secure authentication, containerized services with Docker, optimized SQL queries, designed API architectures, integrated Stripe, and collaborated closely with product/frontend teams to turn features into release-ready code. I’m comfortable working long-term, communicating clearly, and pushing projects forward without needing hand-holding. Although most of my work has been Django-based, I understand FastAPI patterns well and ramp quickly on unfamiliar codebases -I’m efficient at reading documentation, implementing real-world API logic, profiling bottlenecks, and building reliable backend services. With experience in CI/CD, cloud deployments, and AWS-based infrastructure, I’m confident I can contribute effectively to a high-availability SaaS environment.
