πŸ‘‹πŸ» I'm Galen (he/him), a developer with broad webdev knowledge who specializes in backend engineering using Python and the Django framework. Have been working with both since 2014.

I have a small personal blog (hosted here on GitHub!) where I (infrequently) write on topics that interest me and intermediate-level tutorials related to Django and Python (no tutorial hell here).

βš™ Working with...

  • Python-based microservices communicating via JSON-RPC
  • Django (models, migrations, APIs in DRF, all of it)
  • Docker
  • SQL, with a preference for PostgreSQL
  • HTMX and Hyperscript

πŸ›  Familiar with (though no expert in)...

  • Django REST Framework
  • Flask
  • JavaScript
  • GitHub Actions

Learning

  • All of the above; it never stops!
  • FastAPI
  • Ansible
  • Jenkins

Other stuff

For details on my work history, please check out my LinkedIn profile.

I am a maintainer on python-amazon-mws, a pure-Python wrapper for Amazon's MWS API. Said MWS is in decline, in favor of Amazon's newer SP-API; and unfortunately I have neither the time nor interest to make the leap where others have already done some fine work.

πŸ™πŸ» Sponsorship

I love working in open source projects, but of course my time with family and my paying job come first (in that order).

Your kind donation helps me:

  • Cover the costs of cloud infrastructure to host my work
  • Justify the time spent nailing down issues and developing new features in my projects
  • Convince my spouse that all of this isn't a massive waste of time πŸ˜…
@GriceTurrble

Are there really 10 people out there willing to donate some expensive cups of coffee just so I can make a few hundred VMs crash and burn from a syntax error?
