About Ajinkya Sharma

I’m a Python Backend Engineer with 3.5 years of experience building, optimizing, and operating scalable backend systems in production environments.In my current role, I work on performance-critical backend services, where I’ve refactored 100+ use cases and achieved up to 78% runtime improvement without changing external behavior. I enjoy working close to the system — improving reliability, performance, and developer productivity through clean architecture and automation.My core strengths include:Python backend development (Django, FastAPI)REST API design & microservicesCloud & DevOps: AWS, Docker, Terraform, CI/CDSystem performance, scalability, and observabilityProduction ownership and mentoringI’ve worked on cloud-native and serverless systems, built CI/CD pipelines to automate testing and deployments, and used Infrastructure as Code to create repeatable, reliable environments. I’m comfortable collaborating with product, QA, and DevOps teams to ship stable, maintainable software.Earlier in my career, I actively participated in competitive programming, which helped build a strong foundation in problem-solving and data structures that I apply daily in backend engineering.I’m currently open to Python Backend / Platform / Cloud-focused roles where I can work on meaningful systems, learn from strong engineers, and grow in a high-impact environment.
