Irene Peter-Okon
@irenepeter-okon
Backend-focused software developer building reliable REST APIs with Python/FastAPI and Node.js/TypeScript.
What I'm looking for
I’m a software developer specializing in backend engineering, with six deployed REST APIs built across Python/FastAPI and Node.js/TypeScript. I bring four years of backend system design and system architecture experience that strengthens my systems thinking, testing discipline, and production reliability.
I build authentication-secured, role-aware APIs using JWT and OAuth2, with careful authorization via Role-Based Access Control (RBAC). From Swagger UI and Postman-integrated endpoint documentation to consistent error handling and response standardization, I focus on backends that are straightforward to consume and maintain.
I enjoy translating business rules into scalable data models—implementing dual-role authentication, enforcing anti-duplicate constraints at the database level, designing relational schemas for complex relationships, and managing migrations with tools like Alembic and Prisma. I’m a fast learner, remote-ready, and able to contribute from day one, especially where production reliability and clean backend architecture matter.
