Rekofke/README.md

👋 Hi, I'm Eric Rekofke

Backend Developer specializing in scalable RESTful APIs with Python/Flask.
I turn complex business needs into clean, fast, and secure systems.

🚀 What I bring to the table:

  • Flask + SQLAlchemy – REST APIs with JWT auth, caching, rate limiting
  • PostgreSQL / SQLite – optimized schemas, one‑to‑many/many‑to‑many relationships
  • CI/CD – GitHub Actions → automated testing → deployment on Render/Netlify
  • Swagger + Marshmallow – self‑documenting, type‑safe APIs
  • Micro‑services ready – application factory pattern, blueprint architecture

🔨 Featured Project: Tallman Lumber (Full‑Stack)

I architected and deployed a complete business solution for a family‑owned lumber yard:

  • React 18 + Vite + React Router – sub‑second page transitions, 90+ Lighthouse score
  • EmailJS contact hub – 3 forms, automated follow‑up (saved 10 hrs/month)
  • MailerLite newsletter – 150+ subscribers in 2 months
  • SEO & local reach – JSON‑LD, sitemap, Google Maps → 300% organic traffic growth
  • GitHub → Netlify – continuous deployment, custom domain, SPA redirects

📦 Live site | Repo (private)


🛠️ Another Build: Mechanics Shop API

  • RESTful API for customer/work order tracking
  • JWT authentication, Flask‑Caching (40% faster), rate limiting
  • CI/CD with GitHub Actions → deployed on Render
  • Full Swagger documentation for frontend integration
