I’m a Python backend developer with a strong focus on building production-ready systems, integrating AI models, and developing smart automation tools. I specialize in designing and implementing scalable backend architectures, APIs, data pipelines, and microservices using modern Python frameworks such as Django, FastAPI, and Flask.
Over the past two years, I’ve developed a wide range of projects — from lightweight bots and automation scripts to full-featured platforms with AI components, mobile apps, and live user traffic. I don’t just write code — I build products with long-term value.

One of my key strengths is my ability to combine backend logic with AI integration. I frequently work with ready-made models like YOLOv8, EfficientNet, and LLM APIs to deliver features such as image classification, object detection, or intelligent decision-making. While I don't train models from scratch, I'm highly experienced in connecting AI outputs with real systems — through well-structured APIs, microservices, and async task queues using Celery and Redis.

I’m the creator of Veloway - veloway.net, a mobility analytics platform that uses computer vision to assess bike path quality. It features a web app (Django), microservice-based AI backend (FastAPI), an iOS app (Swift), and a dynamic map with user-generated media. The project includes full user management, media upload, automated analysis, PRO subscriptions, B2B features, and monetization via ads and donations. I built it entirely myself — from idea to deployment.

'm also the creator of SimBu - simbu.org, a personal fintech project for smart budget management with multi-currency support. I led the entire product cycle — from idea and UI/UX to backend with Django and DRF, complex ORM logic, exchange rate microservices (polygon.io), CSV import/export, and a Telegram bot. The project also includes monetization via donations and Google AdSense, with a clear go-to-market plan in place.

My daily stack includes:
  • Django / FastAPI / DRF / Celery / Redis
  • PostgreSQL with PostGIS, SQLite, SQLAlchemy
  • Docker, GitHub Actions, Nginx, Linux-based deployment
  • Frontend templates with Bootstrap / JavaScript
  • Python-based scraping (Scrapy, Playwright, Selenium)
In addition to building web services, I also have solid experience with automation: web scraping, media processing, bot development (Telegram), and integrating third-party APIs.
Clients appreciate my ability to take ownership, write maintainable code, and communicate clearly. Whether you need a fast prototype, a long-term backend developer, or help launching a smart MVP — I can support your project with a professional, product-focused mindset.
I'm currently open to full-time or long-term freelance opportunities where I can contribute meaningfully and build systems that solve real-world problems.
