Work

Senior Software Engineer at Doctor on Demand

I'm very proficient in Python web development, specifically with the Django web framework.

Rust and programming language design

I spend my hobby time streaming on Twitch for my Building SaaS with Python and Django, https://www.twitch.tv/mblayman, stream.

I advocate for Python and Django so I generally enjoy chatting about those things.
