Hi, my name is

Mahdi Sahami.

I build backend & AI systems.

Python Backend Developer specializing in high-performance Django architectures, scalable REST APIs, and integrating autonomous AI agents (RAG / LangGraph) into production-ready software. Currently interning at Nexcore (Netherlands, Remote).

01.About Me

Hello! I'm Mahdi Sahami, a Python Backend Developer currently studying Computer Science at the University of Pisa, Italy. I have a strong passion for building software that solves real-world problems — from high-performance APIs to intelligent autonomous systems.

My focus is on crafting production-ready backends using Django and FastAPI, following strict engineering principles like SOLID, DRY, and Clean Architecture. I love the challenge of bridging traditional backend development with modern AI tooling.

Currently I'm interning as a Backend Engineer at Nexcore (Netherlands, Remote), where I work on scalable microservices and enterprise technical solutions.

  • Django REST Framework & FastAPI
  • Autonomous AI Agents (LangGraph)
  • RAG systems with ChromaDB
  • Docker & GitHub Actions CI/CD
  • PostgreSQL & NoSQL databases
  • SOLID, DRY, Clean Architecture

API Latency

  • Dual Architecture: REST API + autonomous AI agent executing real CRUD operations via Django ORM — eliminating HTTP round-trip latency.
  • Engineering Standards: Strict SOLID, DRY, and "Fat Service, Thin Views" OOP patterns with complete type hinting throughout.
  • AI Integration (RAG): Contextual company policy retrieval using ChromaDB and text-embedding-3-small for optimized cost and accuracy.
  • 95% Test Coverage: 160+ automated tests across models, business logic, and AI tools. Full CI/CD via Docker and GitHub Actions.
