I’m starting fresh on a Django-based web application and need an experienced developer who can own the build from the ground up. The first release must include solid user authentication, a clean admin dashboard, and well-documented API integration. Alongside those, I also have an accounting component that needs to slot neatly into the overall architecture, so familiarity with ledger or billing modules in Django (e.g., Django-money, Stripe, or similar) will be helpful. The data model centres on user profiles and accounts, so I’ll look for sensible use of Django’s auth system, custom user models where necessary, and migrations that keep future changes painless. Clean, readable code, Git version control, and concise commit messages are non-negotiable. I’m happy with Django REST Framework for the APIs, but I’m open to other suggestions if you can justify the choice. Please outline: • Your previous Django projects that involved authentication, dashboards, and third-party API work. • Preferred approach to the accounting layer, including any open-source libraries you’d leverage. • Estimated timeline for a first working MVP and your availability for ongoing iterations. Once we agree on milestones, I’ll provide wireframes and the initial database schema so you can get started right away.
