An experienced back-end generalist, specializing in Python.

I created Colorama, the world's 28th most popular Python library, present at international conferences like PyCon, and am a nominated Fellow of the Python Software Foundation. I make continual open source contributions, e.g. this recent drive-by analysis and fixes for static web site generator Nikola, or this page of ModernGL docs, which I created from scratch to help me understand a fiddly API concept, using plain language but without skirting details.

I consult and mentor in Test-Driven Development (TDD), favoring the "London School" and "double loop" variants, when appropriate. I was tech reviewer on O'Reilly's Test Driven Development with Python, published on testing in Python Magazine, and landed modest CPython patches in 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.
