Ali Al-Obaidi

I’m a Backend Engineer with 3+ years of experience building, improving, and maintaining backend software solutions in the SaaS and Healthcare industries, using Python, Go, and Django. I specialize in designing scalable backend systems on AWS, optimizing performance, and automating complex business workflows with reliable async architectures.

In my recent role, I optimized API response time by 40% by migrating from PostgreSQL views to a setup using Docker/Docker Swarm, materialized views, and switching inter-service communication from REST to gRPC. I also designed and implemented end-to-end healthcare cloud backend architecture using Django/DRF/gRPC on AWS, integrated ERPNext to automate financial workflows, and built Celery-based async task orchestration. On the product side, I developed an AI-powered medical chatbot using a RAG architecture with OpenAI Agents, and I’ve mentored junior engineers through PR reviews focused on testing discipline and maintainable architecture.
