Hi, I'm

Ayo Akenroye

Backend Engineer

I build backend systems that power modern applications using Python, Django, and the production tools in my bag.

Focused on reliability and high performance systems. Open to full time backend engineering opportunities.

Let's go

Backend Expertise

I build backend systems designed to scale and perform reliably under real world production workloads.

API Development

RESTful APIs built with Django REST Framework. Secure authentication, pagination, filtering, throttling, and comprehensive documentation. Optimized for performance and scalability.

Database Design

PostgreSQL database architecture with efficient schema design, indexing strategies, and query optimization. Reduced query times by up to 40% through strategic database improvements.

Async Task Processing

Distributed task queues with Celery and Redis for background jobs, scheduled tasks, and email processing. Built production systems handling image processing and notification workflows.

A Little About Me

With 4 years of full stack engineering experience, I specialize in building highly available backend systems with Django, DRF, PostgreSQL, Redis, and Celery.

I've built scalable systems handling real-time features, async task processing, and high-traffic APIs. My production expertise spans across Redis caching, Celery job queues, distributed locking, and Django Channels. I thrive in backend roles architecting reliable, performant systems.
