Netherlands • Ongoing
+
+
+
+ Designed and developed a reusable Django/Wagtail/Django Oscar
+ platform used to accelerate client website and ecommerce delivery
+ through reusable architecture, plugin composition, and automation.
+
+
+ Built an automated onboarding system that provisions repositories,
+ Jenkins jobs, staging environments, SSL certificates, and
+ deployment tracking with minimal manual intervention.
+
+
+ Designed deployment infrastructure using Jenkins, SaltStack,
+ Linux, and release-based deployment workflows to improve
+ deployment consistency, traceability, rollback capability, and
+ runtime verification.
+
+
+ Delivered multilingual Wagtail and Django Oscar implementations
+ with attention to SEO consistency, canonical correctness, cookie
+ compliance, and maintainable admin workflows.
+
+
+ Strengthened platform reliability by resolving onboarding,
+ staging, and production blockers across Sentry, template
+ generation, Jenkins handoff, SSL, package compatibility, runtime
+ provisioning, and deployment truthfulness.
+

+
+
Python / Django Developer
+
Independent Product & Client Delivery Work
+
+
Project-based
+
+
+
+ Built backend and full-stack web solutions focused on ecommerce,
+ CMS delivery, search, admin usability, and reliable deployment
+ into staging and production environments.
+
+
+ Worked end to end across application code, infrastructure,
+ monitoring, CI/CD, plugin integration, and live debugging rather
+ than treating backend development and operations as separate
+ silos.
+
+
+ Applied OpenAI integrations to product-oriented use cases such as
+ translation, product description workflows, and content
+ enrichment, with emphasis on practical output rather than demo
+ features.
+
+ Gained real-world development experience in Django, Wagtail,
+ Django Oscar, reusable plugins, ecommerce platforms, and
+ production-oriented workflows.
+
+
+ Worked within an existing delivery environment where CMS,
+ ecommerce, and plugin-based architecture were applied to real
+ project needs rather than isolated tutorial work.
+
+
+ Built practical exposure to platform structure, project
+ implementation standards, and day-to-day engineering execution
+ that later informed the MandelBlog platform approach.
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
Platform Engineering & Architecture
+
+
+
+ Designed reusable plugin architecture supporting multiple
+ websites and ecommerce projects.
+
+ Built CI/CD processes and operational tooling around Jenkins,
+ SaltStack, Linux, Gitea, and Sentry.
+
+
+ Managed staging and production environments with attention to
+ rollback, health checks, traceability, and deployment safety.
+
+
+ Defined technical standards for future projects through reusable
+ platform decisions instead of one-off project fixes.
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
Selected Projects
+
+
+
MandelBlog Platform
+
+ Built a shared delivery platform that reduced repeated project
+ setup work by centralizing Django, Wagtail, Django Oscar,
+ plugin-driven architecture, CI/CD, and deployment automation into a
+ reusable engineering baseline.

+
+
Customer Onboarding Platform
+
+ Automated the path from project creation to staging readiness by
+ connecting repository provisioning, Jenkins job generation, staging
+ environment setup, SSL issuance, and deployment state tracking
+ while keeping production approval-gated.
+
+
+
+
+
Ecommerce Platform
+
+ Led Django Oscar-based ecommerce engineering across search,
+ catalogue structure, B2B-friendly workflows, and plugin-driven
+ feature composition for reusable commerce delivery.

+
+ Built AI-assisted content generation and product enrichment
+ workflows to support ecommerce operations with editable,
+ business-focused output.
