Hello, I am ...

Ivan Perez Melendez

Product-minded backend engineer. Python · FastAPI · AWS.

I am a product-minded software developer, backend engineer, indie builder and eternal learner.

I don't hide in a bubble writing code — I take ownership of the problems I work on, understand the "why" behind them, and build solutions that actually add value. I care as much about what gets built as how it gets built.

My stack

Python, FastAPI, Django, PostgreSQL, AWS and Docker are my daily tools. I work with Redis for caching, RabbitMQ and Celery for async tasks and message queuing, SQLAlchemy and Alembic for ORM and migrations, and Pydantic for data validation. I write tests with Pytest, automate deployments with GitHub Actions, and use Claude Code as my AI coding assistant.

Right now

I'm working as Product Backend Engineer at Dcycle — a sustainability tech startup — while building my own products on the side.
