ABOUT ME
Python Backend Developer with hands-on experience building REST APIs using FastAPI and Django REST Framework.
Completed Mate Academy's Python Developer program (489 practical tasks, March–October 2025) and independently
built four backend projects from scratch, including a cinema platform with Stripe payment integration, a railway
booking system with seat validation, and a library management system with automated background tasks via Django-
Q. Currently contributing to backend infrastructure for a startup messaging platform (Sayorama), where I integrated
Azure Blob Storage with SAS-token-based direct uploads to offload file transfer from the backend. Comfortable with
PostgreSQL, JWT authentication, role-based access control, and Docker-based environments.

PROJECTS
Cinema API (FastAPI) | 2025 | [github.com/alxitk/fastAPI_project]
Built backend for a cinema/streaming platform using FastAPI. Implemented authentication system with JWT and role-
based access control. Developed core features: movies catalog, cart, orders and payments.
Integrated Stripe payment processing with webhook support. Designed PostgreSQL database and API architecture

Train Station API Service (DRF) | [github.com/alxitk/railwayAPI]
Developed REST API for railway management system using Django REST Framework. Implemented ticket booking system
with seat validation and availability control. Built CRUD functionality for trains, routes, journeys and crews. Added filtering
and search for transport entities. Created admin management features and API documentation

Library Management API (DRF) | [github.com/alxitk/drf_library]
Built a library system with books, users and borrowing management. Implemented borrowing logic with validation and
return rules. Integrated Telegram notifications for events and overdue tracking. Added scheduled background task
processing via Django-Q. Designed relational database structure using Django ORM.

Task Management System (Django) | [github.com/alxitk/Task-Management]
Developed task management application using Django. Implemented task CRUD with tags, priorities and deadlines. Built
Kanban workflow for task tracking. Added user authentication and task assignment features. Designed responsive and
structured backend architecture

EXPERIENCE
February 2026 - Present Backend Contributor — Sayorama (Startup Project)
Sayorama Company — Integrated Azure Blob Storage into the platform's file upload flow (replacing Backblaze B2),
implementing direct client-to-storage uploads via SAS tokens with dedicated upload/confirm-
upload endpoints to keep file transfer load off the backend.
— Built a Python automation script that checks dependency versions across 3 repositories for
conflicts, triggered automatically on push/merge to main via CI.
— Collaborated with a backend team on a messaging platform (FastAPI, WebSockets) for SMB
clients, currently in client testing.
