Fullstack Django/React Web Developer
Category : Web development
Strategic Django, Wagtail & Full-Stack Web Developer
Bridging Engineering, Operations & DevOps for Scalable Systems

I’m a senior full-stack web developer and technical partner with 10+ years of experience designing, deploying, and maintaining production-grade web systems. I don’t just build features — I own outcomes, ensuring systems are scalable, secure, and operationally sound.

My core expertise is in Django, Wagtail, Python, React, TypeScript, and Next.js, with strong hands-on experience in cloud infrastructure and DevOps workflows. I specialize in supporting businesses that need reliable systems, clean architecture, and a developer who understands operations, not just code.

What I Do Best
🧠 Strategic Web Development
I work as a technical partner, not just an implementer. I help teams:
✔Architect scalable backend systems
✔Make long-term technical decisions
✔Reduce operational risk and tech debt
✔Ship reliably without breaking production

🏗 Backend Development (Python / Django)
✔Django & Django REST Framework (DRF)
✔Secure, scalable API design
✔Business logic, workflows, and automation
✔Performance optimization and database tuning
✔Concurrency-safe and data-consistent systems

📰 CMS & Content Platforms (Wagtail)
✔Full Wagtail CMS builds and customization
✔Multi-site and multi-language setups
✔Custom blocks, page models, and workflows
✔Long-term maintenance and upgrades
✔Production deployments and zero-downtime migrations
I’ve built and maintained Wagtail-based financial platforms handling millions in assets, where stability and security were non-negotiable.

⚛ Frontend & Full-Stack Integration
✔React & TypeScript
✔Next.js (SSR, ISR, API routes)
✔Clean integration with Django backends
✔Performance-focused frontend architecture
✔API-driven UI development

☁️ Cloud, DevOps & Infrastructure
I bridge development and operations seamlessly:
✔AWS, Azure, Google Cloud
✔Docker & CI/CD pipelines
✔Server provisioning & hardening
✔Deployments, migrations, backups & restores
✔Production monitoring and incident recovery
If a system breaks, I can trace it, fix it, and prevent it from happening again.

Why Clients Hire Me
✔ I understand business impact, not just code
✔ I’m comfortable with existing codebases and legacy systems
✔ I handle deployments, migrations, and production support
✔ I communicate clearly with technical and non-technical teams
✔ I reduce risk while improving delivery speed

I’ve worked on finance, e-commerce, SaaS, and content-heavy platforms, often acting as the technical backbone for founders and operations teams.
Typical Projects I’m a Great Fit For
✔Django or Wagtail websites needing ongoing support
✔Backend-heavy platforms with complex business logic
✔Django + React / Next.js applications
✔CMS-driven websites that must scale safely
✔Cloud migrations or production stabilisation
✔Teams needing a senior developer who can think operationally

✔CMS: Wagtail
