Senior Python / Django Engineer

This profile represents a dependable back-end shape in the turnkey.dev network: a senior Django engineer whose habits were formed in sectors where mistakes get audited.

Background

Nine years of Python, most of it building Django applications on PostgreSQL and deploying them to AWS. The healthtech and GovTech years left a mark: careful data handling, access controls thought through up front, and a preference for boring, well-tested code over clever code. Equally at home starting a new service or taking over a long-lived codebase that nobody fully understands anymore.

Strengths

• Django depth. Knows the ORM, migrations, and the admin well enough to use them fully and to know when to step outside them.
• PostgreSQL fluency. Designs schemas and queries deliberately instead of letting the ORM decide everything.
• Compliance-aware engineering. Used to environments with data protection requirements, audit logs, and formal reviews.
• Legacy rescue. Can stabilize and modernize an aging Django project incrementally, keeping it shipping the whole time.

Typical engagement

Often starts by taking ownership of an existing back end, then grows into the go-to engineer for the whole server side. India hours, with a reliable morning overlap for European teams and early or late overlap for North America by arrangement. Available now.

This is a representative sample of the vetted pool. Request it and we confirm real, current availability for a developer with this background.
