I’m a Python backend developer with 12+ years of commercial experience, leading and delivering scalable web applications for teams of 2–6 people across remote and on-site work. I focus on clean API design, robust architectures, and performance—especially for database-heavy systems—while staying practical about reliability, testing, backups, and dependable deployment workflows. I’ve worked across Django and modern REST APIs, including async processing with Celery, Redis-based caching/queues, and containerized environments with Docker and Kubernetes. I also enjoy mentoring junior developers, writing technical articles, and sharing knowledge through talks—always with an eye toward maintainability, cloud-ready operations, and using the latest improvements in Python’s ecosystem.
