Python Backend Developer with 2 years 4 months of commercial experience. Built the backend of a mobile app (API, DB, integrations) and backend logic in a corporate Rostelecom-group project.

Relevant experience:

  • REST API on Django REST Framework for internal and external services; auto docs via drf-spectacular.
  • Optimized endpoints and DB work (PostgreSQL, Django ORM, SQLAlchemy) — average API response time −30%.
  • Async and periodic tasks on Celery + RabbitMQ.
  • Containerization (Docker, docker-compose), CI/CD on GitLab CI — manual deploy time cut by more than 2×.
  • Logging & monitoring (ELK, Prometheus, Grafana), unit and integration tests (Pytest).
  • Worked with production logic and integrations.
