Migrated legacy Django endpoints to a modular FastAPI architecture to reduce latency for high-throughput REST calls serving mobile clients. Established DevOps practices for the delivery pipeline by containerizing Django and Node.js applications with Docker and automating deployment workflows to reduce release cycles. Built backend services in Python/FastAPI for complex analytical datasets, including a core data ingestion service. Developed a Next.js dashboard for client project management with server-side rendering for complex reporting views. Implemented secure authentication flows and RESTful APIs using Django and PostgreSQL, mentored junior engineers with code review standards, and created an internal TypeScript/Node.js tooling library to standardize API client generation across multiple applications.

Built RESTful services using Python and Django for user accounts and subscription billing logic for a fintech web platform. Added FastAPI and Django services for enrichment requests, data processing, account configuration, and third-party integrations.
