For the past 10 years, I've specialised in Django projects architecture, development and maintenance.

I've spent years using Django to build prototypes/MVPs, scalable production systems, designing and building API using the Django REST Framework permissions, and API integration with external providers.

Since then, I've learned a lot about the pros and cons of Django, understand and know how to find and debug bugs quickly and well.

In my approach I deeply rely on high quality structured code covered with tests, including performance tests and SQL/ORM data migrations.

I also have a very deep understanding of frontend to backend interactions and I am comfortable working in a team with frontend engineers.
