Python development

Zinn Digital® builds production Python — web apps, APIs, automation, data pipelines and AI/LLM integrations — drawing on 25+ years of full-stack work and the same engineering that runs 700,000+ sites worldwide in production.

What we build in Python

From a single automation script to a multi-service API, we build Python that ships and stays maintainable.

Web apps & APIs

Django and FastAPI services — REST and async endpoints, auth, background jobs, and clean OpenAPI contracts your other systems can build on.

Automation & scripts

Repetitive work turned into reliable, scheduled jobs: data syncs, reporting, file processing, and glue between tools that were never meant to talk.

Scraping & data extraction

Resilient crawlers and structured extraction that handle pagination, rate limits and change, with the output shaped into data you can actually query.

Data & AI/LLM integrations

Pipelines, embeddings and retrieval, plus LLM features behind clean adapters so you are never locked to one model or provider.

How we work

The practices behind our own platform apply to the code we write for you.

  • Django and FastAPI for the right job — synchronous admin-heavy apps, or async high-throughput services
  • Typed, tested code with linting and CI gates, so changes ship safely rather than hopefully
  • Integrations sit behind adapter interfaces — no single vendor SDK wired straight into your business logic
  • Built to scale horizontally and stay stateless where it can, so growth is a config change, not a rewrite
  • Clear handover: documented endpoints, runnable locally, and yours to own — no vendor lock-in

Why Zinn Digital®

We are not a generalist agency that also dabbles in Python. We run a live, revenue-generating hosting platform on Python every day, so the code we write for you is informed by what actually holds up under load, over years, at scale. Our founder, Neil Lock, brings around 25 years of full-stack engineering and builds custom LLMs and n8n and Zapier automations, so AI, data and Python work are core competence here rather than a bolt-on.

That means practical decisions: async where it earns its keep, caching in the hot paths, idempotent jobs that survive retries, and observability so you can see what your system is doing. The result is software that is fast, debuggable and cheap to change.

If your Python work sits alongside a website, we also build WordPress and can host the whole thing — with free migrations, a 30-day money-back guarantee and no lock-in if you ever want to leave.

Who you're working with

25 years of full-stack engineering, led by Neil Lock

Application work here is led by founder and CEO Neil Lock, a full-stack developer with around 25 years building enterprise-grade applications across Laravel, Python, Django, .NET, Node and WordPress. That range is the point: the right tool gets chosen for your problem, by somebody who has shipped production code in most of them.

He is also an SEO scientist and an AI developer — custom LLMs, n8n and Zapier automations — and the engineer who built the world's first AI-driven footprint-free PBN hosting, which is this platform's own Python and Django back end.

  • Around 25 years full-stack — Python, Django, Laravel, .NET, Node and WordPress
  • AI developer — custom LLMs, n8n and Zapier automations, wired into real systems
  • SEO scientist, so an application is built to be found as well as to run

FAQ

Do you use Django or FastAPI?

Both — we pick per project. Django suits admin-heavy apps and fast CRUD with a mature ecosystem; FastAPI suits async, high-throughput APIs and typed request/response models. If you already run one, we work with your stack.

Can you build web scrapers and data extraction pipelines?

Yes. We build resilient scrapers that handle pagination, rate limits and site changes, and turn the results into structured, queryable data. We also build the pipelines that clean, store and schedule that data.

Do you integrate AI and LLMs into Python apps?

Yes. We add LLM features — retrieval, embeddings, summarisation, classification — behind adapter interfaces, so you keep the option to switch model or provider later rather than being locked to one.

Will I be locked into your platform or a specific vendor?

No. We build to no-vendor-lock-in principles: external services sit behind swappable adapters, and the code is documented and yours to run anywhere. If you host with us, migrations are free and there is a 30-day money-back guarantee.

Can you host the Python app you build?

Yes. We can run your Python application on our platform with a 99.99% uptime assurance, free migrations and a card-free 14-day trial, or hand it over for you to deploy elsewhere — your choice.
