About

I've worked across a range of companies: news media, medical genomics, financial markets and real estate. My work has been primarily in backend Python, databases, and linux administration. The open source projects I'm best known for (peewee, huey and sqlite-web) came out of solving problems I encountered in that work and wanting to share the solutions.

Site

This particular site has been through a number of lives. It started in 2008 and I mostly wrote about PHP. In fact, I didn't really have a lot to say, I was just starting out as a professional programmer in spite of having been a hobbyist for a long time. I started posting more around 2010 after I started working at Mediaphormedia on Ellington CMS - the place where the Django framework was created. A few years later I migrated the site to use Flask, Peewee and a number of other smaller tools I'd created and have been more-or-less running the same stack ever since.
