Thom Kakz
@thomkakz
Backend developer focused on building reliable Python APIs and cloud-ready infrastructure.
What I'm looking for
I’m a backend developer building dependable systems with Python. In my freelance work, I developed and maintained backend infrastructure using Django for a platform connecting talent with employers, Dockerized the application for consistent environments, and integrated Nginx to deploy successfully on a cloud server.
I also strengthen reliability through automation and careful backend engineering. As a Python Developer Intern, I engineered and optimized internal automation tools in Python to reduce manual processing overhead, worked in a remote agile environment using Git/GitHub, and debugged backend logic to handle edge cases. My projects—ClubIQ and Tech MSpace (Python, Flask, PostgreSQL) and MiniGD (Python, MinIO, Docker)—reflect my focus on clean architecture, data integrity, and scalable, real-world performance.
