Senior Python Backend Engineer | FastAPI, Django & AI Automation

I am a Senior Python Backend Engineer with experience building scalable backend systems, APIs, automation solutions, and AI-powered applications for startups, SaaS products, internal platforms, and growing businesses. I help clients build new products, improve existing systems, modernize legacy applications, and develop backend solutions that are secure, maintainable, and ready for real production use. One of my strongest advantages is the way I use modern AI coding tools and agentic development workflows inside real engineering work. I actively use tools such as Claude Code, Codex, GitHub Copilot, Cursor, and similar AI-assisted coding tools to speed up code understanding, implementation, debugging, refactoring, and technical research. This helps me move faster and deliver more efficiently while still keeping architecture, code quality, testing, security, and release decisions under strong human oversight. What I can help with: Backend Development: Python, FastAPI, Django, Flask API Development & Integrations: REST APIs, third-party integrations, webhooks, authentication, backend services Automation & Business Workflows: internal tools, process automation, workflow automation, system integrations AI Integration: OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, LangChain, RAG pipelines, vector databases, AI assistants, document processing, intelligent automation Databases & Data Handling: PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, Redis, database-driven applications, query optimization, performance improvements Async & Background Processing: Celery, background jobs, task automation, scalable backend logic DevOps & Deployment: Docker, GitHub, CI/CD pipelines, deployment workflows, cloud-ready systems, production support System Improvement & Maintenance: debugging, refactoring, optimization, performance tuning, codebase stabilization, long-term technical support I bring the most value to projects that need not only development, but also product understanding, technical ownership, and dependable delivery. My goal is to build solutions that support both immediate requirements and long-term progress. I’d be glad to help turn your idea or existing product into a dependable, well-built solution.
