SEEKING WORK - remote - expat in GMT+1

Hi, I'm Matt and I help people out with their legacy Python application problems.

I squash bugs, refactor code to increase development velocity, upgrade application components, troubleshoot performance issues, and do code reviews. In essence, I make your application work well for your users and a joy to work with for other developers.

Some things that I've worked on in the past year:

- Set up deployment and backup scripts for a web agency to use on all their projects to make their developers happy and clients safe.

- Secured a legacy Django application and its dependencies against intruders (mainly cool sysadmin stuff).

- Took over a gnarly MVP stub, refactored it, added the missing features, and deployed it to production.
