I’m a backend developer building scalable Python/Django REST APIs and async services with reliability.
What I'm looking for
I’m a result-driven Backend Developer with over 2 years of experience specializing in Python and Django. I focus on architecting scalable RESTful APIs, keeping performance strong under real-world load, and delivering reliable systems through disciplined testing.
At Sidmach Technologies, I developed and maintained RESTful APIs with Django Rest Framework (DRF) to power smooth frontend-backend communication. I implemented automated testing suites using APITestCase to improve code coverage and reduce production issues, and I containerized workflows with Docker to ensure consistent deployments. I also integrated Celery and Redis for asynchronous background tasks, significantly reducing API response times for heavy operations.
On my projects, I architected a multi-tenant Performance Appraisal System with strict data isolation and security across client segments. I automated asynchronous workflows like email notifications and report generation with Celery and Redis, and I used comprehensive unit and integration tests with APITestCase to support confident feature rollouts. I also built core REST API infrastructure for a YouthPlus social networking platform, including real-time features like chat, follows, and stories posting.
Earlier, during my industrial training at AGL Consulting LTD, I developed reports using Crystal Reports and managed data with Sage X3ERP and MySQL. I bring an engineering mindset rooted in backend system design, database optimization, and clean collaboration, reinforced by Microsoft Azure AI Fundamentals (2024) and hands-on experience with modern tooling.
