Python Code

Hi there, my name is Dave and I’m a jack-of-all-trades (well, at least when it comes to the tech world).

I’m a coder working with Python and data, using all the coolest open source tools on Linux.

I use the high-paying skill that is coding to fund my endeavors in trading and investing with the ultimate goal to break free from the matrix.

I also believe that anyone can and should learn how to code and understand how the internet and web technologies work. It’s an essential part of being a well-rounded, tech-savvy human in today’s world.

Self-taught

I’m a self-taught programmer who has been tinkering with all things tech for many, many years. It all started with running Debian Linux on my desktop (and later, laptop) – back in the day, it wasn’t always easy to get all the hardware working perfectly, so I had to do a lot of hacking and scripting to get everything up and running. From there, I taught myself how to set up web servers and run websites, including databases.

My first professional IT job was as an eCommerce manager, setting up a web shop for a fashion company. But I quickly realized that I was more of a craftsman than a manager, so I moved on to jobs where I could actually work on software (see my Linkedin profile for more details). Over the years, I’ve worked with a variety of stacks and technologies, including:

  • HTML
  • CSS
  • JavaScript
  • Vb-script
  • C#
  • Java
  • Ruby
  • SQL
  • XML
  • XSLT
  • Bash
  • Windows server
  • Linux server
  • Docker
  • Python
  • and many more.

You could say I’m a full-stack developer – I’ve got experience with everything!

I’ve also worked with various frameworks like:

  • Django
  • Pyramid
  • Flask
  • Bootstrap
  • AngularJS
  • EmberJS
  • and VueJS.

Right now, I’m focusing mainly on back-end work using Python and PostgreSQL. In my day job, I deal with a lot of data and I build data ingestion and processing pipelines, APIs, and front-ends on a dockerized / kubernetes infrastructure. It’s a lot of fun and I’m always learning new things!
