About Me
I'm looking to help with whatever I can; this is my public GitHub account where I host personal, public projects and WIP hobbies.
I've had a lot of fun learning web + mobile applications, cybersecurity, NLP, DevOps, databases, and caches. I specialize in high performance backend architecture. I play a lot with Django and implemented asyncio features in Django such as its cache and ORM and assist developers in taking advantage of websockets for Django. I also maintain redis-py asyncio by RedisLabs + aioredis, cookiecutter-django, django-cachalot, Jazzband, and SimpleJWT.
