Backend
that
stays up

Python / Django (DRF) backend, Docker, GitLab CI, Grafana / Prometheus / Loki. REST APIs that ship with monitoring attached.

What I do

three ways to work
backend01

APIs that hold under load

Python / Django / DRF: REST, integrations, PostgreSQL and RabbitMQ. Clear contracts, predictable errors, no mystery 500s in production.

  • REST API on Django REST Framework
  • PostgreSQL models and queries
  • Queues and workers on RabbitMQ
devops02

From commit to a running box

Docker, GitLab CI and Linux so a merge is not a ritual. Repeatable deploys, fewer “works on my machine” nights.

  • Images and Compose for the whole stack
  • GitLab CI pipelines
  • Linux servers without folklore
observability03

See the fire before the call

Grafana, Prometheus, Loki, Promtail, Node Exporter. Metrics, logs and alerts so you debug from a dashboard, not from a screenshot in chat.

  • Metrics and alerts in Prometheus / Grafana
  • Logs in Loki + Promtail
  • Host signals via Node Exporter

Independent production service with its own site, panel, billing, and Telegram. I work on backend and operations — engineering ownership of a live side-project, not a Dorrelov product.

Learning Kotlin on Android: screens, navigation, API calls. Experimental sandbox — not a product.

Got a job — write

I take Django and DevOps work: from a single API to the full loop of code → deploy → monitoring. I reply the same day; timelines after a short call.
