I'm a software engineer with 8+ years of experience in full-stack development, operations, and project management. I've written code for both scientific institutions like the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) and Fortune 500 companies. I specialize in Python, but I don't shy away from other languages. You can learn more about my experience on my LinkedIn profile.

In my spare time, I like to share my knowledge about Python, best practices in programming, and productivity. I've spoken at many conferences and meetups - have a look at some of my talks.

I've listed a few things that I can help you with on the consulting page. If you need a helping hand in your Python project or would like to organize a workshop, don't hesitate to contact me.
