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,

-
-
- 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.
