Django/Python RESTful API for Web & Mobile — Scalable, Secure & Production-Ready.
Your mobile app or web frontend is only as good as the API powering it. A poorly architected API creates performance bottlenecks, security vulnerabilities and technical debt that slows every future development cycle. I specialize in building production-ready Django REST Framework APIs — engineered for scale, security and real-world business complexity from day one.
How I Work:
Every API project begins with a thorough Client Requirement Analysis to define endpoints, data models, authentication strategy and integration requirements before development starts. I leverage AI-assisted development tools throughout the build — delivering clean, well-documented, production-quality APIs faster than traditional development timelines allow.
What My APIs Cover:
I build RESTful APIs for the full spectrum of web and mobile application needs — user authentication and account management, product catalogs and inventory, shopping cart and order processing, payment and subscription workflows, CRM and third-party platform integrations, content management, dashboards reporting and custom business logic tailored to your specific operational requirements.
Technical Highlights:
- ViewSets and Serializers built on Django REST Framework.
- JWT authentication via SimpleJWT with role-based permission control.
- Advanced filtering, search and ordering via DjangoFilterBackend.
- Pagination at 20 items per page with PageNumberPagination.
- Rate limiting — 100 requests per hour for anonymous users, 1000 for authenticated.
- Auto-generated OpenAPI schema documentation via drf-spectacular.
- Optimized database queries using select_related and prefetch_related to eliminate N+1 problems.
- Webhook support and real-time event handling.
- Comprehensive logging, monitoring and error handling built in from the start.
Third-Party Integrations:
Stripe payments, TaxJar/Avalara tax calculation, EasyPost/ShipStation shipping, SendGrid/AWS SES email, AWS S3 or Cloudinary media storage and OAuth 2.0 social authentication via Google, Facebook, Apple and Twitter/X.
Quality Assurance:
QA is embedded throughout my development process — not added at the end. Every API I deliver includes extensive test coverage across models, ViewSets, serializers and integration points, ensuring reliability, security and consistent performance under real-world conditions.
Delivery Timeline:
Standard API — Authentication, core endpoints and documentation. 2 to 3 weeks.
Advanced API — Complex workflows, third-party integrations and full test suite. 3 to 4 weeks.
Why Work With Me: 27 years of IT experience. AI-assisted workflow for faster delivery without compromising quality. End-to-end ownership from architecture through deployment. Detailed documentation and handover so your team can maintain and extend the API confidently.
