Python backend developer skilled in creating robust applications.
ZimbabweWhat I'm looking for
I'm a dedicated Python Backend Developer with a strong foundation in computer science and a passion for building efficient backend systems. Currently, I work at DK Digital Solutions, where I've developed and maintained backend applications using Python and Flask. One of my key projects includes the Aeropost tool, which enables users to upload packages and manifests while generating reports in various formats such as CSV, PDF, and Excel.
In addition to my work on the Aeropost tool, I have enhanced a point-of-sale (POS) system by integrating it with the QuickBooks API, ensuring seamless financial data synchronization. My experience also includes building an Email Verifier tool using Django and Django REST Framework, which validates email addresses and improves email list quality. I thrive on challenges and continuously seek to enhance my skills through practical projects and collaboration.
