Who am I?

I am a Senior Software Engineer with Backend and Fullstack experience.

My first love is Python and my career is focused on Backend web development.

Writing content

I keep track of how to do things across many languages, frameworks, and operating systems by maintaining these sites which I created. They are open source too, if you want to request or submit a change.
