I've been coding since age of 15, starting with perl, moving to php, and finally to python. I've been a freelancer working in the US, New Zealand, Vietnam, and now working in Germany. I'm interested in helping people solve their website problems quickly and efficiently. At the moment I focus mostly on python/django, javascript, and to a lesser extend php or wordpress problem. I can also help out with linux system admin questions, more specifically with ubuntu/debian based problems.
I've got more than 10 years of experience building backend systems across varying problem domains and tech stacks, in big companies and startups. I've set up machine learning pipelines, managed big data with Hadoop and orchestrated swarms of microservices. Product-wise I can help you choose the right tech stack for the problem, develop and drive your product in the right direction, lean style.
