Available for senior backend roles

Hi, I'm Syed Mujtaba Rizwan

Senior Python Backend Developer building scalable APIs, AI-powered platforms, and data pipelines.

I design and ship high-performance backends with FastAPI & Django, integrate AI/ML models into real products, and architect distributed systems that scale. From SaaS platforms to web-scraping pipelines, I turn complex problems into clean, maintainable code.

Backend engineer who ships real products

I'm a Python backend developer based in Lahore, Pakistan, with hands-on experience building production systems for clients across the US, Europe, and beyond. I currently work as a Senior Backend Developer, designing scalable APIs and integrating AI into products that people actually use.

My sweet spot is the backend: high-performance FastAPI microservices, robust Django applications, real-time systems with WebSockets, distributed web-scraping pipelines, and AI/ML integrations. I care deeply about clean code, performance, and writing software that's maintainable long after I've shipped it.

I've collaborated with distributed, multi-national teams — coordinating with a team in Hungary while based in Pakistan — and I work directly with clients to turn ambiguous requirements into reliable, scalable systems.
