Full-Stack Developer
Amaechi Ugwu
Backend-focused Full-Stack Developer specializing in scalable APIs, microservices architecture, and robust system design with C#, .NET, and Python.
About Me
"Great software starts with solid backend architecture. I build robust systems that scale, perform, and deliver exceptional user experiences."
As a backend-focused Full-Stack Developer with 1+ years of experience, I specialize in building scalable APIs, microservices, and robust system architectures. My passion lies in creating high-performance backend solutions using C#, .NET, and Python, while seamlessly integrating with modern frontend technologies to deliver complete, end-to-end applications.
My expertise spans RESTful APIs, microservices architecture, and database design using technologies like PostgreSQL, Docker, and Azure cloud services . I also mentor aspiring developers at Ice Hub,sharing backend development best practices and system design principles. When I'm not architecting systems or mentoring, you can find me exploring new backend technologies, contributing to open-source projects, or diving into technical documentation to stay ahead of the curve.
