I'm Freud Anato, a backend software engineer from Cotonou, Benin, with 6+ years of experience building high-performance APIs and scalable server-side solutions using Python, FastAPI, Django, and PostgreSQL. I have hands-on experience integrating payments (Stripe, Paystack), deploying containerized applications on AWS with Docker, and designing robust data models and optimized queries. I thrive in remote, fast-paced environments and enjoy turning complex requirements into reliable, scalable services. In my recent roles I led teams to deliver modular platforms, achieved high reliability (95%), and improved API performance through database indexing, Redis caching, and asynchronous processing with Celery and RabbitMQ. I mentor junior developers, drive architectural reviews, and advocate for CI/CD, testing, and best practices. I'm passionate about building robust backend systems and collaborating across teams to deliver value.…I'm Freud Anato, a backend software engineer from Cotonou, Benin, with 6+ years of experience building high-performance APIs and scalable server-side solutions using Python, FastAPI, Django, and PostgreSQL.
