Jakub Tutka — Back-End Python Developer
Mostly backend servers. Sometimes full-stack apps, games, or whole systems. Let's build something.
A backend-focused software engineer in Kraków with 3+ years turning complex requirements into reliable, production-grade systems — owning the work from first sketch to live deployment.
I'm a backend-focused software engineer with 3+ years of professional experience designing and deploying scalable server-side systems. I specialise in Python — FastAPI and Django — with a strong emphasis on API performance, database design and microservice architecture.
I run production workloads on Google Cloud Platform (Cloud Run, Cloud Functions, Firebase) and approach every system with an engineering mindset: clear architecture, documented APIs and infrastructure that scales reliably under load. When full-stack delivery is needed, Vue.js and Nuxt.js are my frontend tools.
Full product ownership
I take responsibility for the whole thing — architecture, code, deploys and what happens after.
Fearless about new tech
gRPC, Kubernetes, NEAT, a neural net from scratch — I learn what a problem needs and go deep.
Production-minded
Systems that handle 10k+ events/sec, scale horizontally and stay observable in the real world.
Things I've built & shipped
A selection of projects where I owned the architecture end to end.
