Python backend developer focused on scalable, production-ready APIs.
What I'm looking for
I am a Python backend developer with 4+ years of experience designing, developing, and deploying scalable backend systems and APIs. I specialize in Flask and FastAPI, and I have a proven track record delivering production-ready, containerized services.
My work spans real-time systems, secure cloud-deployed APIs, and multi-container Docker setups, with hands-on experience using PostgreSQL, MongoDB, and Redis to optimize performance. I emphasize robust validation, logging, and error handling to ensure reliable services.
I have built real-time location tracking, cloud-deployed API platforms, and web monitoring systems, improving deployment consistency and reducing operational complexity. I collaborate cross-functionally and often own backend architecture and implementation.
I hold a Master of Engineering from Sri Venkateshwara College of Engineering (Anna University) and earned a gold medal for academic performance. I seek roles where I can apply system design, DevOps practices, and backend engineering to deliver scalable, maintainable solutions.
