Vivek Vijai

I am a backend developer based in Stockholm, Sweden, open to opportunities across the country. My core stack is Python, Django, Django REST Framework, PostgreSQL, Redis, Stripe, Docker, Azure App Service, GitHub Actions, pytest, JWT, CORS, Gunicorn, React/Vite integrations, RAG workflows, WhatsApp Business API, and Meta Graph API.

At PeckiiLess AB, I am the sole backend developer and product contributor for a live Swedish food-tech platform. I shaped the user journey in Figma, defined checkout from cart to date and slot selection to payment, and built the backend from scratch with Azure deployment workflows. I also evaluated Klarna's transaction cost against our current order volume and recommended holding off for now, keeping Stripe's card and Swish integration as the leaner near-term path.

Alongside that, I am building AI and API-integration projects for Tellus AB, a Swedish startup: a WhatsApp-based RAG assistant for customer conversations and appointment booking, plus a planned Meta ads dashboard integration with an AI campaign-suggestion layer.

I enjoy problem solving, taking ownership of products end to end, and learning by building. Having owned major product areas independently, I am now looking to join a strong engineering team - not to be handed easier work, but to be pushed. I want engineers around me who will question my architecture, so the next backend I build is better than the last one.

Before tech, I spent five years in pharma sales and marketing in India. That background shapes how I build: I think about users, margins, operational constraints, stakeholder communication, and the business trade-offs behind engineering decisions.
