Interim CTO

I've worked in Django on a daily basis since 2011, and I've been responsible for architecting multiple Django apps in that time.

I worked in SQL daily for much of my career, and while these days I interact more often through the ORM, I drop into the CLI regularly to check data.

I did my personal coding projects in Python for years, and have worked in Python daily since 2011.

I use jQuery for all my front-end development, primarily for AJAX and formatting but occasionally for visual effects.

I've worked in JavaScript regularly throughout my career. I much prefer the excellent libraries of modern JavaScript to how much work we had to do in the early 2000s. Lately I have been experimenting with node/express/angular, via the Ionic mobile framework.

I have put together many shell scripts to achieve small tasks over the years, and am a contributor to virtualenvwrapper. I am highly proficient in using command line utilities to achieve desired results.

I've used git on a daily basis since 2010, and mentored others as they learn git.

I can make functional and well-designed HTML. I am not a designer.

I can make functional and well-designed CSS. I am not a designer.

MySQL was the primary database at most of my early jobs, and I've been heavily involved in database design and optimization.

I use PostgreSQL for many of my personal projects, and have used it at my last three workplaces. I wrote a small tool, paragres, to simplify synchronizing databases between localhost and Heroku.

I've set up crons on a variety of linux servers, and on my mac for local development.

I host a variety of my personal apps on Heroku: Django, node/express, and basic Python. I currently have automatic deployment set up from my github repositories to Heroku via circleci, and I have created automatic deployments using travis as well.

I originally picked up angular as part of Ionic. I am quite experienced with angular 1, and have dabbled a little in subsequent versions.

I have used regex (mostly in Python and JavaScript) to solve typical programming problems.
