Finalize Django & FastAPI Platform

The platform is already 95 % complete and running on a hybrid Django + FastAPI stack. What remains before launch is a focused push on the backend. I need someone who can drop into an established code-base, understand the existing architecture quickly, and close the final functional and performance gaps.

Immediate priorities
• Build-out and polish several FastAPI endpoints
• Harden and extend the Django admin panel for non-technical ops users
• Profile and optimise database calls to keep response times razor-sharp

Clean, well-documented code, unit tests where changes are significant, and Git-driven collaboration are non-negotiable. You’ll also touch front-end templates and JavaScript occasionally, so comfort with the Django templating engine, vanilla JS, and a dash of CSS is definitely helpful, even if backend work comes first.

I expect this engagement to continue well past launch, so I’m interested in developers who can demonstrate relevant experience on similar Django or FastAPI projects and who are open to a long-term relationship. When you reply, point me to previous work or explain—in plain language—how your background lines up with the tech and tasks listed above.
