Ali Za is a Django developer based in Tallinn with 10 years of experience building full-stack web applications, mobile backends, and tooling for CI/CD and containerized deployments. He combines deep Python/Django expertise with mobile development in Swift and Flutter, and practical DevOps skills using Docker, GitLab CI/GitHub Actions, Ansible, Prometheus, and Grafana. His work spans databases from PostgreSQL and MongoDB to Neo4j, and he has delivered performance wins such as a 20% API response improvement by optimizing DRF serializers.
