Simon Vitt
Backend Engineer · Building high-reliability systems
3+ years of professional experience · Python/Django · Azure
I build, design and ship backends that hold up under real-world production constraints: scalable APIs, async job orchestration, real-time systems, and scaling-aware infrastructure decisions.
I mainly work with Django/DRF, PostgreSQL, Celery, Redis, Temporal, and Azure, with a strong focus on reliability, performance, maintainability and scalability.
Professional Experience
Software Engineer
SoftAutoMateAI
Built multiple full-featured, end-to-end backend platforms from the ground up: architecture, APIs, domain modeling, and production infrastructure for multi-tenant claims and workflow systems.
- Designed and implemented the system architecture: tenant isolation, granular and flexible role-based access, and core domain workflows
- Architected cloud infrastructure on Azure: App Services, Container Apps, PostgreSQL Flexible Server, Redis Cache, CI/CD pipelines, etc.
- Built scalable APIs, async processing pipelines, and background job orchestration for production workloads
- Shipped complex real-time collaboration features using WebSockets (Django Channels)
- Integrated external APIs for data exchange and workflow automation
Software Developer & Mentor
Developer Akademie
Mentored software-engineering students and built internal tools to improve workflows and team productivity.
- Conducted code reviews and technical coaching across JavaScript, Python, Angular and Django
- Built internal platforms and automation tools for operational workflows
- Developed integrations between Slack and internal systems
- Implemented redisign of application platform and implemented new features and bug fixes
