Backend Developer building production-grade REST APIs and scalable systems in Python and Go.
IndiaWhat I'm looking for
I’m a Backend Developer with 2+ years of experience building and owning production-grade backend systems and REST APIs using Python (FastAPI, Django) and Go. I delivered a 95% critical API latency reduction (18s → <800ms) and built end-to-end backend products from scratch used by enterprise customers.
I bring strong expertise in scalable databases, asynchronous processing, search systems, and third-party integrations. I’ve architected production systems with PostgreSQL connection pooling, implemented Celery + RabbitMQ background processing with retries and failures, optimized Elasticsearch for data-heavy endpoints, and deployed secure Redis-backed OTP authentication quickly while monitoring and debugging with New Relic, Sentry, Flower, and RabbitMQ dashboards.
