Summary
I'm a Python developer who enjoys building practical software and learning how the pieces behind an application fit together. My development experience has grown from writing Python programs and automation scripts into building database-driven web applications with Django and Flask, working with APIs, managing application data, and deploying applications to production. Rather than only following tutorials, I try to understand why the pieces work the way they do. Building my own projects has given me experience with debugging, database design, migrations, environment configuration, version control, deployment, and maintaining software after it is already running.
