About Aastha Patel

Python Backend Engineer with 3+ years of experience building scalable backend systems and RESTful APIs using FastAPI and Flask. Strong foundation in Python, SQL, and backend architecture, with hands-on experience working with relational databases and writing efficient, maintainable code.I have experience developing production-ready services, working with Docker, version control, and cloud fundamentals, and supporting end-to-end backend workflows. I’ve also worked on projects involving lightweight GenAI integrations, focusing on practical API usage rather than model training.I enjoy solving backend problems, improving system reliability, and collaborating with teams to deliver clean and efficient software solutions. Currently seeking Python Backend / Software Engineer opportunities where I can contribute and continue growing as a backend-focused engineer.
