ABOUT ME

Software Engineer w/ 7 years of Python/Django

I'm a web application developer with about a decade of experience. Most of this has been with Python and Django.

I can help with any part of the web application stack from JavaScript to the SQL database, but my area of expertise is back-end development.

I have multiple rates; mentoring requires more scheduling and is more stressful, so for-hire projects will cost less per hour than mentoring. I also have a "Do Your Homework" rate of $75/hr with a minimum of 1 hour.

Code Portfolios:

https://gitlab.com/u/georgedorn (Slowly moving new projects to gitlab).

Notable projects:
Tastypie (REST API builder for Django) https://github.com/django-tastypie/django-tastypie
Magellan (Personal search engine / spider, for Django and Elasticsearch) https://gitlab.com/georgedorn/django-magellan/tree/master

I started using Django right around the 1.0 release, first to build an ecommerce platform, then for a high-availability music metadata site (discogs.com), then for a SOA component for an enterprise collaboration platform (kavi.com), then for an energy analytics company (buildingenergy.com). I also have numerous open source projects and contributions relating to django, including a couple bugfixes contributed to the project itself.

Used mostly back in my PHP/MySQL days to power ecommerce sites and a high-traffic music metadata site (discogs.com). I'm a little rusty and not current, but I know SQL fairly well and am aware of most of the MySQL deviations and pitfalls up to a few years ago.
