Python backends
built to scale.
Python backend development is building the server side of an application in Python — APIs, data models, authentication, background jobs and integrations. I use FastAPI for API-first and AI-heavy services and Django when a product needs a built-in admin and mature ORM, both backed by PostgreSQL and Redis.
I build Python backends that stay fast and maintainable as your product grows — clean APIs, sound data models, background processing and the operational basics that keep production calm.
What I build
REST APIs and WebSockets
Typed, documented endpoints and real-time channels for web and mobile clients.
Background jobs
Queues for emails, AI processing, imports and scheduled tasks.
Auth and RBAC
Token auth, roles and permissions, and multi-tenant data isolation.
Services and deployment
Dockerized services deployed to AWS, Render or your own cloud.
Problems I solve
- Endpoints that slow down as data grows
- Long tasks blocking requests and timing out
- Permissions scattered across the codebase
- No logs or monitoring when something fails at night
Technologies I use

- FastAPI
- Django
- PostgreSQL

Technical approach
- →Validation at the edge with Pydantic or Django forms/serializers.
- →Heavy work moved to queues; requests stay fast.
- →Indexes and query review before adding caching.
- →Structured logging and health checks from the first deploy.
Frequently asked questions
FastAPI or Django?
FastAPI for API-first and AI-heavy services; Django when you want a built-in admin, ORM and mature ecosystem. I'll recommend one based on your product.
Can you work with my existing frontend?
Yes. I publish an OpenAPI spec so your frontend or mobile team can integrate cleanly.
How long does a typical project take?
It depends on scope. A focused feature or fix can take days; a first production version of a product usually takes several weeks. I give a written estimate after a short discovery call.
