An experienced back-end generalist, specializing in Python.

I createdColorama,the world's28th most popularPython library,present at international conferences like PyCon, and am a nominated Fellow of the Python SoftwareFoundation. I make continual open source contributions, e.g. this recent drive-byanalysis and fixesfor static web site generator Nikola, orthis page of ModernGL docs,which I created from scratch to help me understand a fiddly API concept, using plainlanguage but without skirting details.

I consult and mentor in Test-Driven Development (TDD), favoring the "LondonSchool" and "double loop" variants, when appropriate. I was tech reviewer on O'Reilly'sTest Driven Development with Python,published on testingin Python Magazine,and landed modest CPython patchesin unitttest.

I believe in radically jovial relationships, taking pride in our humane treatment of one another, and real talk.Great teams create great individuals, not the other way around.
