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.
