Python Backend & API Development

A good backend is invisible: it stays fast, keeps data correct and does not wake anyone up at night. I design and build Python backends and APIs with FastAPI and Django, from the data model to deployment and monitoring.

You get a documented, tested API that your web and mobile apps can rely on, and that is ready to grow with your product.

What I Build

  • REST APIs with FastAPI and Django

    Scalable, documented and production-ready APIs for web apps, mobile apps and integrations.

  • Database design

    PostgreSQL and MongoDB schemas, optimised queries and safe migrations.

  • Third-party integrations

    Marketplace connectors, payment and e-invoicing systems, including legacy SOAP services.

  • Background jobs and caching

    Scheduled sync, queues and Redis caching for fast, reliable processing.

  • Deployment and monitoring

    Docker, CI/CD and cloud hosting on AWS or GCP, with Prometheus monitoring.

Typical Use Cases

  • A SaaS backend serving both a mobile app and an admin panel
  • Microservices that expose data through REST endpoints
  • Marketplace and e-invoicing integrations behind one API
  • Monitoring services with real-time alerts

Frequently Asked Questions

FastAPI or Django: which should I use?

FastAPI is ideal for fast, typed APIs and microservices. Django suits applications that benefit from its built-in admin, ORM and authentication. I recommend one based on your product, team and timeline.

Can you work on an existing backend?

Yes. I can extend, refactor or stabilise an existing Python backend, add integrations or improve performance.

Do you handle deployment?

Yes. I containerise services with Docker and deploy to AWS or GCP with CI/CD and monitoring, so the backend is production-ready, not just working on a laptop.
