I'm looking for Junior level Python/Flask roles. I'm currently in a career transition after 10 years of doing SEO (Search Engine Optimization). This year, I left my Director of SEO job to dedicate my time to programming with Python. I started with the Udacity Full Stack Nanodegree program, but after some time spent with the program, I decided I would progress quicker by just building.

I've built an e-commerce catalog app that uses Flask and PostgreSQL to store product names and descriptions. Functionality includes the ability to add/edit/delete products and there's also a json endpoint that allows the retrieval of product information in json format.

I've also built and deployed https://www.allferryschedules.com/, which is the early stages of a directory of ferry schedules in the United States. It uses Flask for the routing and retrieval of data and is currently using a Google Sheet for the storage of each time table. I use the Google Sheets API via a 3rd party python library called gspread to connect to the Google Sheet and retrieve the individual schedules for each route. I then use memcached to cache the data because retrieving it each time from the Google Sheet is very slow. Please view my github to see the progress I've made in refactoring this app between version 1 and the current version. My next endeavor is to rebuild and refactor this app again using TDD so I can gain experience in writing and utilizing tests.

While I have plenty to learn, don't we all?, I believe I'm capable and competent enough to contribute to a company at the Junior level and I'm hungry for experience. If you are looking for Junior Python/Flask developers, please reach out.
