> Backend Engineer (Python|Django) | DevOps Specialist | CI/CD & Cloud

Location: London, England, United Kingdom
Profile: https://flows.cv/velda

I'm a web developer passionate about creating high-quality, scalable, and user-friendly software solutions. With over six years of experience specializing in Django development, I've honed my skills in building custom web applications from concept to deployment.  My expertise spans both front-end and back-end development, allowing me to deliver end-to-end solutions that meet client needs.

Beyond development, I've spent eight years crafting engaging technical content, including how-to guides and best practice documentation, for a variety of clients.  I excel at translating complex technical ideas into clear and concise language accessible to both technical and non-technical audiences.

I'm committed to continuous learning and have recently expanded my skillset to include System Design principles and DevOps practices, with a focus on Kubernetes.  This allows me to implement CI/CD pipelines and automation workflows, accelerating the software development lifecycle and improving efficiency.

I believe in the power of open source and actively contribute to projects.  I'm a maintainer of the Django Debug Toolbar and other Pythonic projects.  My degree in Business and Information Technology provides a strong foundation in project management, ensuring projects are delivered on time and within budget, with clear communication throughout.

Overall, I'm passionate about staying up-to-date with the latest technologies and using my skills to help businesses achieve their goals. 

Let's connect and explore how I can contribute to your team!
