About Sebastien
Senior backend and cloud engineer operating via a UK limited company. I specialise in designing and building backend systems, APIs, and SaaS platforms using Python and Java (Spring Boot), with a strong focus on cloud-native, production-ready architectures.
I’ve delivered backend platforms for mobile and web applications, including authentication, offline support, payment integration, and automation. Experienced in AWS services (Lambda, EC2, S3, RDS), distributed systems, and scalable multi-tenant platforms.
I own projects end-to-end, from architecture and development through deployment, scaling, and live operations. Currently developing additional SaaS and mobile applications focused on real-time performance and operational efficiency.
