Full-Stack Engineer building production web apps with Python, Django, and React.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Full-Stack Software Engineer with 3+ years building production web applications end-to-end in Python (Django, DRF, FastAPI) and React + TypeScript over PostgreSQL. I ship features from schema to UI for fully remote teams, balancing API-layer rigor with a clean React component tree.
I’m strong on RESTful API design, multi-tenant SaaS patterns (schema-per-tenant via django-tenants, subdomain routing, JWT/session auth), and production-grade testing discipline. I’ve led work with Pytest and CI coverage gates (80%+) and used atomic transactions (select_for_update) to prevent concurrency issues.
I also bring DevOps and cloud execution: Docker, GitHub Actions CI/CD, and AWS infrastructure as code with Terraform. As a Founding Engineer, I cut deploy time by ~50% and helped sustain ~99.9% uptime using Sentry + Prometheus + Grafana observability.
