As a flexible and adaptable software developer, I have a deep expertise in Python, particularly with Django, as well as TypeScript for backend development with AWS services. Additionally, I am well-versed in web development, serverless backends, and microservices, and have worked on a variety of complex projects in these areas.One of my key strengths is my ability to quickly learn new technologies and apply them effectively to achieve project goals. As a result, I have been able to work on a range of diverse projects, from a national website for a leading child-care franchisor, to a microservice for a nationally-acclaimed used car retailer, to demand/response integrations for flexing energy consumption at the grid scale.Looking forward, I am eager to continue using my skills to tackle some of the most pressing challenges facing our world today, particularly in the areas of climate change and social impact. I am particularly excited by the possibilities of scalable serverless systems, and aspire to move towards an architect role in the long-term.Outside of work, I enjoy attending tech conferences such as DjangoCon and PyWebCon, and love tinkering with the open-source project Home Assistant to build smart home devices.Flexible developer with specialization in:Python & DjangoTypeScript & AWSAWS Development
