Hello! I am Ishika Agrawal, a passionate Back-end Developer with 2.5 years of experience specializing in Python, Django, and FastAPI. My focus is on building scalable back-end systems for GenAI, Fintech, and SaaS platforms. I thrive in dynamic environments and am eager to contribute to intelligent, API- driven products. I am currently seeking opportunities in Bangalore, Mumbai, or remote roles where I can leverage my skills to make a meaningful impact. Throughout my career, I have successfully designed RESTful APIs and microservices, enhancing system performance and reducing operational bottlenecks. I have a strong foundation in database management with MySQL, PostgreSQL, and MongoDB, and I am proficient in using tools like Docker and Git for efficient development workflows. My commitment to continuous learning is reflected in my certifications in AWS and Machine Learning with Python. I pride myself on my analytical thinking, problem-solving abilities, and effective communication skills, which have allowed me to collaborate successfully with cross-functional teams.
In my role at Oto Capital, I engineered and deployed third-party API integrations using Django to enhance financial workflows, including loan processing and document verification. I designed and implemented an internal coordination tool that streamlined cross-team communication, improving response times by over 20%. Additionally, I spearheaded a DRF migration project, modularizing legacy code into loosely coupled services, which increased maintainability and reduced code dependencies by 40%. I also built a real-time monitoring system with FastAPI and Elasticsearch to support data-driven decisions via live dashboards and partnered with product teams to translate business requirements into scalable backend solutions, consistently delivering projects ahead of deadlines.
As a Project Engineer at Wipro, I developed scalable backend services using Django and Django REST Framework for enterprise-grade content management systems. I implemented secure role-based authentication systems to enhance user data protection and refactored complex SQL queries, resulting in significant improvements in query execution time and overall application performance.
