Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolJoseph Zammit is a seasoned Python/Django software engineer with a decade of experience building and modernizing backend systems across startups and enterprises from Malta. He has a strong track record of converting monoliths to async services, improving test coverage and CI practices, and designing reliable data pipelines that cut load times and maintenance overhead. As a freelancer and recent contributor to products at Nielsen Norman Group and Deepdesk, he blends hands-on implementation (FastAPI, Django ORM async) with architecture and mentoring responsibilities. His background includes building custom e-commerce tooling with real-time WebSocket interfaces and delivering fault-tolerant device-management and IAM services for large clients. Joseph pairs an academic foundation (MSc Informatics) with practical ownership—from AWS deployments as a technical co-founder to leading small engineering teams—making him comfortable across the full backend stack. A pragmatic engineer, he often focuses on measurable operational gains (test coverage, async refactors, CI) rather than flashy tech, which repeatedly reduces team firefighting and speeds delivery.
