Zharro Webb

I am a seasoned backend engineer with 7+ years designing and building scalable web applications, RESTful APIs, and robust server-side architectures using Python (FastAPI, Django). I prioritize clean code, TDD, and maintainable systems.

I have led backend development for production platforms, designing microservices for planning, time tracking, invoicing, and material ordering while integrating Stripe and SendGrid for payments and transactional emails. I implemented observability with Prometheus and Grafana, real-time channels with WebSockets and Redis, and supported frontends via OpenAPI docs.

As a technical lead and former CTO, I have managed remote engineering teams, overseen sprint cycles and CI/CD pipelines, and architected event-driven microservices with Kafka, Redis, and Firebase. I have deployed services on GCP, Azure, and AWS using Docker, Kubernetes, and automation tooling like Ansible and Terraform.

I enjoy mentoring engineers, applying clean architecture principles, and delivering high-availability systems. I am looking for senior backend or engineering leadership opportunities where I can build scalable, testable APIs and collaborate in cross-functional, agile teams.
