Hey, I'm Anuj Balmiki
I'm a results-driven Python Backend Developer with 2.5+ years of experience designing and deploying secure, scalable, and maintainable web applications. I enjoy working with Django and FastAPI, building software that's visually appealing and technically solid.
When I'm not working on professional projects, I love tinkering with my home server where I build experimental applications, host personal services, and explore new technologies. It's my playground for trying out ideas that might be too wild for production environments.
