Django Backend Developer | DRF, FastAPI, PostgreSQL, Python APIs
Need a Django backend built, fixed, or scaled without introducing fragile code? I’m a Django/Python backend developer with $100K+ earned on Upwork, 4,200+ hours worked, 42 completed contracts, and a 100% Job Success Score. I build and maintain production Django systems for SaaS platforms, APIs, business applications, integrations, and data-heavy products. What I can help you with: • Django and Django REST Framework development • REST API architecture and development • Existing Django application debugging and feature development • PostgreSQL query optimization, indexing, and database design • SaaS backends, multi-user systems, permissions, and subscriptions • Third-party API integrations and webhook processing • Authentication using JWT, OAuth, and role-based permissions • Celery, Redis, scheduled jobs, and background processing • FastAPI services and Python microservices • Docker, AWS, CI/CD, and production deployment • WebSockets and real-time backend features • OpenAI/LLM integrations inside existing Python applications Recent types of systems I work on include SaaS platforms, CRM applications, API-driven products, AI-enabled applications, workflow automation systems, and complex Django/PostgreSQL backends. For existing Django applications, I can step into the codebase and help with: • Slow APIs and PostgreSQL queries • Bugs and unstable backend behavior • New Django/DRF endpoints • Legacy code refactoring • Database migrations • API integrations • Celery/background job problems • Authentication and permissions • Deployment and infrastructure issues • Performance and scalability improvements My core stack: Python | Django | Django REST Framework | FastAPI | PostgreSQL | Redis | Celery | Docker | AWS | REST APIs | WebSockets How I work: I start by understanding the existing architecture, business workflow, and actual technical problem before making changes. For debugging or performance work, I prefer measuring the problem first rather than changing configuration blindly. My focus is clean implementation, maintainable architecture, clear communication, and solutions that work reliably in production. If you have an existing Django application that needs fixing, scaling, extending, or integrating with another system, send me the current stack and the problem you’re facing. I’ll tell you how I would approach it.
