You will get a production-ready Python REST API (Django or FastAPI)
Top Rated
Project details
Need a backend API that holds up in production, not a tutorial repo?
I'm a senior Python backend engineer (8+ years, top-rated, 100% job success).
I build REST APIs with Django/DRF or FastAPI for SaaS, e-commerce, and mobile
apps. Recent work: HerKey (career platform), Riyaah (KSA e-commerce),
Astrosure.ai (AI SaaS).
What you get:
• API design and implementation (CRUD, filters, pagination)
• PostgreSQL models and migrations
• JWT or session auth (we agree upfront)
• OpenAPI/Swagger documentation
• Basic tests on critical endpoints
• README with local setup steps
Starter fits a focused MVP API. Standard adds more endpoints, role-based
access, Docker, and tests. Advanced is for larger APIs with RBAC and a
CI/CD starter pipeline.
I send updates every 2-3 days. You always know what's done and what's next.
Share your feature list after purchase. I'll confirm scope within 24 hours
before the delivery clock starts.

Python Software Development
Working with Ankit was a pleasure. He was able to manage other developers on the team to ensure a clean, cohesive, well-built product. Very happy I was able to have him on the team to complete a large software buildout.

Backend Engineer (Python/FastAPI) to Build AI Pipeline Using Cursor
Ankit is a really skilled developer. He is very responsive, stays in constant touch, and is able to complete all types of development work really well. I highly recommend Ankit to anyone who is trying to get a short or long project underway and looking for a trusted partner.

Job Success
Bengaluru, India - 1:11 am local time
I build Django and FastAPI backends on AWS for SaaS and AI products that need to stay fast under real user load, not just pass a demo.
Most of my work is either fixing slow APIs and deployment bottlenecks or shipping new backend features (REST APIs, async jobs, LLM/RAG integrations) for teams that outgrew their first architecture. I'm a senior Python backend developer based in India, with 8+ years, top-rated, and 100% job success.
What I work on day to day:
★ REST APIs and backend services (Django/DRF, FastAPI, Flask when it fits)
★ Cloud deployments on AWS: EC2, S3, RDS, Lambda, Docker, CI/CD pipelines
★ Async and background jobs: Celery, Redis, RabbitMQ for queues, reports, notifications
★ AI and LLM integration: RAG workflows, chatbots, automation pipelines (OpenAI, Gemini, Grok APIs; not just prompt wrappers)
★ Backend refactoring: slow queries, messy codebases, deployments that break every release
★ Microservices where it makes sense: not microservices for the sake of it
A few projects I've led or built recently:
Astrosure.ai: AI-powered astrology platform from scratch. I led the backend: Django and FastAPI services, birth chart processing, dosha/dasha rules, and the Agastyaa chatbot with LLM integration. Deployed on AWS with Docker and CI/CD on EKS.
HerKey (herkey .com): India's largest career platform for women. Built scalable APIs for job matching, session booking, and notifications. Django REST Framework, MongoDB, Elasticsearch, Kubernetes on AWS. We cut incident triage time by around 40% after improving monitoring and deployment flow.
Riyaah (riyaah.sa): Beauty e-commerce platform in Saudi Arabia. Backend for product catalog, orders, and payment flows. Django, PostgreSQL, AWS.
Before Upwork, I worked with Capgemini (banking/ANZ), Flooid, Keuro Digital, and Bricksteel, mostly backend, team lead, and client-facing delivery. I also run Sparkscribe Technologies for larger or long-term engagements where you need more than one developer.
On Upwork you work with me directly. For larger scopes, I may involve senior developers from my company under my technical lead, only with your approval and with me owning architecture and delivery.
How I usually work with clients:
I keep communication straightforward, regular updates, and clear ETAs, with no disappearing mid-sprint. I've managed small teams (up to 10 devs), done code reviews, and set up CI/CD and monitoring so releases don't turn into firefights. Most of my Upwork clients mention responsiveness and clean delivery in their reviews.
If you need someone who can own the backend end-to-end architecture, APIs, cloud, AI integration, and production stability, send me a message with a short description of what you're building. I'll reply with honest thoughts on scope and how I'd approach it.
