Available to hire
Hi, I’m Prashanthi Bandy, a Senior Full Stack Python Developer with 9 years of experience delivering scalable web applications and microservices across banking and insurance domains. I specialize in Python (Django, Flask, FastAPI) and Go for building production-grade APIs, distributed systems, and enterprise platforms. I design secure, scalable RESTful interfaces and integrations with OAuth2, JWT, and MFA, while collaborating with product and DevOps teams to ensure reliability and compliance. In my work, I enjoy building modern, responsive UIs with React and Angular, and applying AI/ML models for fraud detection and risk scoring to automate decisions and reduce losses.
I’m passionate about clean, maintainable code, test-driven development, and mentoring junior engineers. I thrive in Agile environments and love turning complex requirements into scalable, observable systems deployed on AWS/GCP with CI/CD and monitoring in place.
