Hi there 👋, I'm Stephen Kihuni

🎯 Backend Developer | API Developer | Technical writer

I specialize in building scalable and well-documented APIs using Django and Python. Whether it's designing RESTful services, implementing security best practices, or optimizing performance, I bring backend systems to life. I also write developer-friendly technical content, making complex topics easy to understand.

🚀 What I Do

🔹 Backend Development

  • Languages & Frameworks: Python, Django, Django REST Framework
  • Databases: PostgreSQL, MySQL, Redis
  • API Tools: OpenAPI/Swagger, Authentication (JWT, OAuth2), Rate Limiting

🔹 DevOps & Deployment

  • Tools: Docker, GitHub Actions, CI/CD
  • Cloud Platforms: AWS, DigitalOcean, Heroku

✍️ Technical Writing

I create tutorials and guides to help developers build better APIs.

📌 Latest Article Series:

A step-by-step guide covering everything from setting up a Django project to securing your API.
