<h2>Professional Summary</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Founder and senior Python/Django developer with production experience
|
|
building backend systems, ecommerce platforms, CMS products, search
|
|
infrastructure, deployment workflows, and shared engineering tooling.
|
|
Strongest fit is in senior Django, Python, platform engineering,
|
|
ecommerce engineering, Wagtail, and technical consulting roles that
|
|
need practical architecture ownership and hands-on delivery.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Built MandelBlog as a reusable multi-project platform rather than a
|
|
single-codebase product, enabling faster client onboarding,
|
|
repeatable deployment workflows, reusable plugin composition,
|
|
multilingual website delivery, search integration, monitoring, and
|
|
production support with minimal manual intervention.
