ABOUT ME

Sr. Django/AngularJS/Bootstrap Developer Seeking Work In Portland Oregon or Remote

I began in the technical industry in 1995 and have worked on a variety of projects from small startups to fortune 100 companies building distributed multi-user applications using perl, PHP, Python, JavaScript, Angular and Bootstrap. I have a firm understanding of all phases of full cycle software development from gathering initial requirements, design, coding, test driven development, testing, documentation and implementation. Since 2005 I have focused primarily on Python and various Python web frameworks.

I am known for being an Agile/TDD evangelist and mentor. I am a certified SCRUM Master and regularly oversee sprint planning and tasking, backlog grooming, end of sprint demo's retrospectives and rundowns as well as interface between technical and non-technical personnel to merge business and user needs with technical solutions.

My technical tool chest includes proficiency with Linux, Apache, nginx, Jenkins for Contentious Integration and Deployment, Sphinx for automated documentation as well as planning tools such as Jira, Yodiz, Trello and others. On a day to day basis I regularly use both Pycharm and Vim with multiple extensions to write clean well documented code.

I came to Python from perl around 1999-2000 when I was using SilkTest to create automated testing suites for a financial website company. Since then I have almost exclusively used Python and various Python frameworks such as Plone, TurboGears, and Django for nearly every project since 2004.

I first installed Apache 1.x on a personal machine in 1995. We have been through quite a bit together and done the "make make test make install" dance many times. While I am not an absolute expert with Apache I can navigate the docs pretty well and sort out things I don't know.
