Remote worker with 6+ years of experience - Last seen ago

Backend Python developer specialized in building secure and scalable REST APIs using Django, FastAPI and PostgreSQL.

I have 3 years of experience developing backend systems and APIs for institutional and production environments in West Africa.

At SONABEL (Burkina Fasoโ€™s national electricity company), I designed and deployed an internal procurement management platform using Django and PostgreSQL. The system automated manual workflows and reduced request processing time by 40%.

I also built BurkinaGrain API, a production-ready FastAPI service that tracks cereal prices across Burkina Fasoโ€™s regions. The project includes JWT authentication, SQLAlchemy ORM, Docker deployment, and automated testing with pytest.

Core expertise:
โ€ข Python backend development
โ€ข REST API design (FastAPI / Django REST Framework)
โ€ข PostgreSQL database design and optimization
โ€ข Authentication systems (JWT, RBAC)
โ€ข Dockerized deployments on Linux servers
โ€ข Clean, tested, and documented code

I focus on reliability, maintainable architecture, and production-ready backend systems.

Available immediately for remote backend engineering roles.
