Python Backend Developer | FastAPI · PostgreSQL · REST APIs | Auth, Paystack Webhooks & Automation | HNG Backend Finalist
I build backend APIs and automation systems with Python, FastAPI, PostgreSQL, authentication, payment integrations, webhooks, and security-conscious backend design.
My current focus is building practical backend systems that handle real workflows: user authentication, database-backed APIs, payment validation, third-party integrations, automation, and reliable deployment.
