🐍 Python Django Developer

Hi, I’m a self-taught backend developer with 3+ years of experience, currently working at a tech startup based in The Bahamas. I mostly work with Python and Django, building APIs, designing database models, and improving performance when needed. I enjoy learning new tools and technologies as projects require.
