Django Development
Hire a Django Developer for scalable backends and SaaS platforms
5+ years building Django/DRF backends — multi-tenant SaaS architecture, real-time systems with Channels, background processing with Celery, and zero-downtime legacy upgrades from Django 2.x to 5.x.

What I build as a Django Developer
REST API design (DRF)
Clean, versioned Django REST Framework APIs built to be consumed by Flutter, Next.js, or any client.
Multi-tenant SaaS backends
Tenant isolation, subscription billing, and role-based access built for products that scale past one customer.
Real-time systems
Django Channels and WebSockets for live dispatch queues and dashboards that update without a refresh.
Background processing
Celery and Redis for scheduled jobs, ledger audits, and anything that shouldn't block a request.
Legacy upgrades
Phased migrations off old Django versions — deprecated APIs refactored, security patched, zero downtime.
Cloud deployment & CI/CD
Dockerized deployments, automated test suites, and pipelines that ship without drama.

Common questions
What Django projects have you shipped?
Backends for an ad-free Qur'an platform with a Postgres-enforced data-integrity guarantee, a multi-school student portal SaaS, a real-time charitable-pharmacy dispatch system on Channels, and a zero-downtime Django 2.x to 5.x migration for an enterprise app. See the case studies below.
Can you upgrade a legacy Django app without downtime?
Yes — a phased migration approach that refactors deprecated APIs and database routing incrementally. On the most recent 2.x to 5.x upgrade this resolved 100% of the flagged security risk and delivered a 35% query performance gain with zero downtime.
Do you build REST APIs or full-stack apps?
Both. Django REST Framework backends paired with a Next.js or Flutter frontend when the project needs one, or a standalone API when it doesn't.
How do we get started?

Client Feedback
What clients say
“Taimoor doesn't just write code—he thinks like a product engineer. He took our vague school management requirements and turned them into a system our clients genuinely love. Shipped on time, clean architecture.”
Salik Sheraz
CTO
“Working with Taimoor on our automation platform was a great experience. He asked sharp questions up front, built exactly what we needed, and the codebase was clean enough that our team could pick it up immediately.”
Sarah Mitchell
Founder
“The BLE mobile app he built for us handled some tricky edge cases around device pairing that other developers had given up on. Deep technical knowledge combined with clear communication throughout.”
