Django Expert

A solid Django and DRF skill that handles the common pain points: ORM query optimization with select_related and prefetch_related, proper database indexing, serializer validation, and JWT authentication setup. The workflow is sensible, requiring migration verification before moving forward and endpoint validation before adding auth layers. The minimal working example actually demonstrates the constraints it preaches, which is rare. It covers Django 5.0 async views alongside the standard viewset patterns. If you're building REST APIs with Django and want guardrails around N+1 queries and proper permissions, this gives you a structured approach with the reference docs broken out by topic. Written by someone who has clearly debugged too many unindexed foreign keys.
