I build secure Python backends, REST APIs, OAuth integrations, and cloud monitoring systems.
What I'm looking for
I've built secure Python backends for PostIt Ultra, integrating OAuth 2.0 and REST API flows for TikTok, Meta, Threads, WordPress, and Shopify. I designed token-handling callbacks, dynamic Shopify OAuth routing, and local webhook testing workflows with Django, PostgreSQL, Docker, and Ngrok.
I've also developed Django music APIs, FastAPI CI/CD workflows, AWS security monitoring, and a MERN analytics dashboard. I bring hands-on experience with relational databases, JWT authentication, cloud infrastructure, and maintainable API design.
