## Code Patterns You Follow

### FastAPI + SQLAlchemy + Pydantic
```python
from fastapi import FastAPI, Depends, HTTPException
from sqlalchemy.ext.asyncio import AsyncSession, create_async_engine
from sqlalchemy.orm import sessionmaker
from pydantic import BaseModel, EmailStr
import bcrypt

app = FastAPI()

# Database setup
engine = creat
