My name is [...] and I have been working since nine years as freelancer on web applications. I have also taken on long term contract work in Vietnam, Singapore and Australia where I worked as part of international teams in startups as well as MNCs. Starting from university I have jumped at possibilities to live overseas and experience the cultural differences first hand. An opportunity for relocation short or long-term is still welcomed from my side. I'm fluent in English and German, studied in Germany and Macau, graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Online Media and gained an 'Advanced Python' certificate from the University of Illinois.

My detailed CV and references are available on request.

Backend Development
Python & Django are my preferred weapons of choice on the backend from small scripts to full fledge web portals with restful API. I love it for it's clear, efficient structure, powerful libraries and multitude of well-maintained add-on modules. From LDAP access to XML parsing and geospatial operations, python has a library for you.

Frontend Development
After many years of working with vanilla JavaScript and jQuery I was happy to switch to modern MVC frameworks. angularJS or backbone in combination with django-restframework is a powerful bundle that makes developing dynamic pages and single page applications a breeze.

Server Administration
I'm familiar with setting up and maintaining Debian, Ubuntu and CentOS servers. Automated scripts I wrote with fabtools make my life easier as many server tasks are repetitive and lengthy which makes manual execution error prone. Docker, nginx, gunicorn and supervisord help me with a solid setup & deployment.

Test coverage
Unit tests that ensure every line of code written is executed and every edge case was considered saves time and trouble and gives me confidence in the quality of my code. Selenium helps ensure that that new CSS rule did not break important functionality and limits boring manual testing.

Coaching
It takes time to fully understand and utilize the power of the Django framework, it's ORM and it's popular addons. Pair programming, code reviews of pull requests or restructuring and commenting of existing code can help your developers to vastly improve their skills. For a previous employer I sat with the staff to solve problems together or showed how bloated code can be simplified.

Integration
Atlassian Confluence, Jira, Redmine, github, scrum. I'm familiar with the industry standard of team collaboration. Accessing your VPN, git repositories or servers via ssh is not a stumble stone for me.
