  • FastAPI & Django REST
  • Async & event-driven design
  • pytest test suites & CI
  • Authentication & rate limiting

Discord & Telegram Bots

Multi-tenant Discord and Telegram bots. Moderation, economies, events, dashboards, payment flows, and everything in between.

  • Economy & wallet systems
  • Multi-tenant architecture
  • Admin panels & dashboards

Automation & Integrations

Celery workers, scheduled jobs, webhook bridges, scraping pipelines, and the kind of glue code that connects your stack to whatever third-party API you depend on.

About

Who you're hiring

I'm Abubakar. I build backend systems for clients who need code that keeps working past launch.

My focus is Python: FastAPI APIs, async architectures, microservices, and the integrations and bots that sit alongside them. The job stays the same whether it's a Discord bot serving 1,200+ users or a multi-channel fulfillment dashboard. Make it reliable, make it testable, make it boring to maintain.

I work test-first with pytest, document what's worth documenting, and prefer simple solutions that someone else can pick up six months from now. If your last developer left you a hairball, I can probably untangle it.

Common engagements

  • Backend logic and REST API design
  • Microservices and async system structure
  • Discord and Telegram bots, multi-tenant platforms
  • Third-party integrations, webhooks, scraping pipelines
  • Refactoring existing Python codebases
