I've spent the last decade developing custom software solutions to solve business problems. I've worked for billion dollar enterprises delivering software for consumer electronics. I've led a team of developers to modernize a companies systems to make them more maintainable and quicker to iterate. I've introduced best practices such as source control, continuous integration, code reviews, and testing to improve workflow and reliability.

I can help your company develop custom software specifically designed for your needs. I also provide services to smaller business that can't justify a full time architect where I will come in as needed and help architect a system or diagnose the reliability of existing systems while providing suggestions on how to improve.

I have been working remotely most of my work history, mostly for startups and related to web based projects. 6/10 projects I have been a solo-developer, building from ground doing sysadmin to backend and frontend work, most recent work have been related to build ERP/CRM like apps within large teams.

You can get an idea of my coding skills, by looking at my Github profile https://github.com/mariocesar, I often post code snippets in https://gist.github.com/mariocesar

# What is my stronger skill?

Django and python based projects. I have been working with Django so many years that I know how to manage myself quickly to start and complete a project quickly.

# What are the most recent skills that I'm excited right now?

aiohttp. I have been working doing "real-time" apps with node.js and switching to aiohttp was a production high jump getting back to python to build these apps with aiohttp. I also have enjoyed learning Vue to make large applications, I still enjoy React however, the internals of Vue really clicks with me.

# Somethings that made me happy recently?

My latest Recommendation in Linkedin.

SEEKING WORK | Lisbon, Portugal | Remote

Bogged down by bugs? Tangled up in legacy projects?

Dealing with issues in existing code saps developers energy and enthusiasm, draining the creativity from your team and slowing you down. Let me help you relieve the pressure by taking over the tasks that weigh down your team so they can concentrate their energies on moving your project, product or company forward.

A longtime Django developer (since 1.2) I have the experience, temperament and tenacity to deal with all the day-to-day distractions you have. I provide a fresh pair of eyes and a willing pair of hands to help you free up resources and get you going.

I work with the typical Django stack: jQuery/Bootstrap, Django/Django Rest Framework, Redis/Memcached/Celery, PostgreSQL, Fabric/Ansible.

For newfangled apps, Vue.js is my front-end framework of choice.
