He always meets and exceeds expectations and broadens any team he is a part of. He has acquired strong abilities in several languages as a contributor and team leader of software development projects. These include building Python backend servers as his server application language of choice. He is well-versed in Python and okay with TypeScript and JavaScript. For new skills, I've built some fairly sophisticated deployment systems using AWS CDK scripts written in Python. To enhance my frontend skills, I'm also getting up to speed with HTMX in conjunction with the Python framework FastAPI. Specialties: teaching new technologies, both in the corporate environment, as an Adult-Ed instructor, and at a STEM facility near me. Having worked in embedded systems, he's very attuned to the need for efficient and high-speed software required in real-time systems. I'm also a good writer and documenter. My book, "The Well-Grounded Python Developer," is available from Manning Publishing and Amazon. * NOTE * Though I've worked with C/C++ and PHP at the professional level, it's been a long time since I've programmed in those languages, so my skills are rusty. In addition, I'm not interested in taking a role involving those languages anymore. Also, I have very little skill or interest in Java, so I'm not the right person for those roles.
