Built an MVP social network: Django backend + Swift app

I built the MVP for a full social network product with a Django/Python backend and a Swift client app. The goal was fast iteration without sacrificing clean architecture, scalability, or data governance.

What shipped:

core social features + identity + permissions

API-first backend designed for mobile

audit-friendly data model and access controls

governance-minded handling of user data and content flows

production deployment foundation

I specialize in greenfield builds that ship fast while staying structured and compliant.

Happy new month 🎉

I recently designed and developed a fintech mobile app using Figma Make, taking it beyond just UI into functional product thinking and backend integration. I connected the app to Supabase, enabling authentication flows with email verification, user database management, and account detail retrieval using account numbers and bank selection.

The app allows users to send and receive money, make payments, shop online, manage cards, view notifications, update their profiles, save beneficiaries, and bookmark transactions for quick repeat actions.

It was a demanding but rewarding process, involving continuous testing, debugging, and refining flows to ensure a seamless experience without broken interactions.

I’m open to building software solutions across mobile apps and websites, and always open to collaboration.

Most Django projects fail not because of bad code — but bad architecture decisions made early on.

Here are 3 mistakes I fix for clients regularly:

1️⃣ No API versioning — breaks everything when you scale 2️⃣ N+1 query problems — silently kills performance 3️⃣ No proper environment separation — dev settings leaking to production

These are fixable. And if your Django project is suffering from any of these, let's talk.
