Python & Django Development for Startups and Growing Teams

I design and build production Python and Django applications end to end: data model, REST APIs, background jobs, React frontends, and deployment on AWS. Most of my client work runs on this stack, from a marketplace that helped a founder raise a seed round to a multi-marketplace ERP.

What I deliver

  • Greenfield MVPs built from 0 to 1, ready to demo to customers and investors
  • Django REST APIs and third-party integrations (marketplaces, POS systems, messaging platforms)
  • Takeover and modernization of existing Python and Django codebases, including Docker-based hosting
  • Celery background jobs, scheduled tasks, and reliable asynchronous workflows
  • React frontends where the product needs a rich UI

When to hire me

  • You need a senior engineer who can own a product from schema to deployment.
  • You want an MVP in front of customers or investors without a large team.
  • You inherited a Django codebase that is hard to change and need someone to stabilize it.

Frequently asked questions

Do you work with early-stage startups?

Yes. I delivered the complete core application for a seed-stage wholesale food marketplace from scratch, and I regularly work directly with founders and small teams.

Can you take over an existing Django project?

Yes. I have worked on legacy Python and Django codebases, improving them incrementally and moving hosting to a more modern Docker-based setup.

What else is in your typical stack?

PostgreSQL, React, Celery, Docker, and AWS. I choose the simplest reliable option for each problem rather than the newest one.
