Codea Website — Hybrid CMS + API Platform

Summary I developed the full backend for Codea’s company website: a unified platform combining Django + Wagtail CMS for content management and FastAPI for high-performance API endpoints. Both systems run together as a single ASGI application.

Problem Codea needed a modern CMS for publishing blog content and a scalable API layer for new products — without maintaining multiple separate systems.

Solution Built a hybrid architecture where Django/Wagtail manages content, while FastAPI serves API endpoints with schema documentation and authentication. Integrated with Codea’s centralized authentication server (OAuth2/JWT). Deployed as containerized, production-ready infrastructure.

Impact One platform powering both content and APIs; faster development, simpler maintenance, and a scalable backend foundation for future services.

Role Backend developer — architecture, CMS configuration, API design, auth integration, deployment.

Tech Django 5+, Wagtail CMS, FastAPI, DRF, PostgreSQL, Uvicorn, Docker, Swagger/ReDoc.
