Hi there! I’m Steppa, also known as The API Artist.

I build backend systems.

What started with APIs became something deeper: structuring, shaping, and refining the systems behind real products. I still approach it the same way: every system is a canvas, every decision intentional.

With 5+ years of experience, I work across backend engineering.

Python, Django, and Go are my core tools used to build APIs, services, and systems that are structured, scalable, and built to last.

“Stick to the Code.”

Clean. Deliberate. Understood.

I care about how systems are designed just as much as how they run. Clarity over noise. Structure over shortcuts.

Technical Co-founder of The Seventeen.

This is my code gallery.

Each project is a reflection of how I think, not just what I build.
