    About
    Hello, I am excited to apply for the Backend Python Developer position. With nearly 4 years of experience building production systems, I believe I can be a solid addition to your team. Here are some highlights: • Nearly 4 years of commercial Python/FastAPI experience across startups and mid-size teams, building CRMs, HR-tech platforms, and project management tools. • End-to-end ownership: at MobileUp I took a CRM from zero to production in 4 months, covering backend, DevOps (GitLab CI/CD, Docker, Kubernetes), and team lead responsibilities. • Strong experience with complex integrations and distributed systems: built a banking integration for automated contractor payouts, designed notification and messaging services, worked with RabbitMQ, Redis, and PostgreSQL at scale. I like seeing things through — whether that's refactoring a monolith, migrating to microservices, or setting up CI/CD from scratch. I care about the result being stable and maintainable, not just done. I had a look at your company and the work looks interesting. I do best when there's real engineering complexity involved and when what I build actually matters to users. I would love to connect and talk through how I can contribute. Feel free to reach out via any of the channels below.
