Hire · Python & FastAPI Developer
Hire a Python and FastAPI developer for backends that hold up under load
Real-time APIs, WebSocket services and microservices in Python, designed around the actual load profile. I migrated a live voice AI platform from a monolith to AWS microservices for 3x throughput with near-zero deployment downtime.

Why clients choose me as their python & fastapi developer
- ExperienceSenior, and proven in production6+ years, 17 shipped products and 6 P@SHA ICT Awards. Co-Founder & CTO, leading 25+ engineers, and still writing the critical code myself.
- ValueSenior expertise at a fraction of US/UK ratesI work remotely from Islamabad, so you pay well below US and UK senior market rates for the same depth, with working-hour overlap for the UAE, UK, EU and US East Coast.
- Low riskFixed-price prototype firstA free call, then a working prototype on your real data in about two weeks at a fixed price. You see results before any larger commitment.

Frequently asked questions
Do we need microservices?
Maybe not. Microservices trade operational complexity for independent scaling. If your load is uniform and your team is small, a well-structured monolith often wins. I will tell you which in the audit.
Can you fix an existing slow backend?
Usually. Slow backends fail at predictable points: per-row writes, synchronous work in the request path and missing indexes. An audit finds them.
How much does it cost to hire you as a python & fastapi developer?
Every project is scoped on a free 30-minute call. Because I work remotely from Islamabad, you get senior, award-winning experience at rates well below US and UK senior market rates, and the prototype phase is quoted at a fixed price so your risk is capped.
Do you work with clients in the US, UK and UAE?
Yes. I have shipped for clients in UAE, UK, Australia and Pakistan, and work remotely with overlap for UAE, UK, EU and US East Coast hours.
Do you write the code yourself?
Yes. I architect the system and write the critical code myself. For larger builds I also lead engineers from my team at Quickgen Technologies, where I am Co-Founder & CTO.
