Backend / Platform Engineer

I'm Amos Mwangi, a backend engineer who builds scalable, production-ready systems that power real-world applications. I specialize in backend architecture, API design, and performance optimization—with responsibility for systems handling millions of records and thousands of daily requests.

My work centers on Python backend development (Django, FastAPI), Go for high-performance services, and architecting robust, maintainable systems. I design RESTful and GraphQL APIs, optimize database queries, implement caching strategies, and ensure production systems run reliably at scale. My frontend experience with React, Next.js, and Vue.js complements my backend work, enabling me to deliver complete, production-ready solutions.
