My background includes 4 university majors (Computer Science, Information Technology/Web Development, Multimedia Design and Media Arts). I have been developing web applications for nearly 9 years.
Although I usually spend most of my time building robust back-ends that can scale on commodity hardware, I'm a well rounded full stack web software engineer. I know the front-end side of things as much as I know the back-end side. I can code any type of UI using cross-browser, valid HTML5/ CSS3/JS quickly and robust.
I have an eye for good design, I can use an existing style guide and build new screens (design, usability, back-end, front-end) all entirely by myself.
I was a django early adopter. I have been using it as my primary web development framework since version 0.96. I have been developing applications (server, desktop and then webapps) in python since about 10 years ago.
A few sample projects I have worked on:
