PROFILE
I code mostly using Python a powerful yet simple to use programming language.
Web Development with Django, for the front and back-end designing functional, user
friendly site that looks great on the front-end and with a backend that's fast
(responsive) without needing to invest too much in massive server specs (if not
necessary).
I’ve been developing websites since 2012 and with years doing an array of projects, I
can tell what is simple and not to do, give a good estimate of how long it will take to
be completed and design code that doesn’t seem to be tripping on its own laces to try
and deliver results.
Django is modular, it’s a modern CRM it's intended to be built in a way that you should
be able to edit most if not all content on the front-end from the backend with a simple
and easy to use control page and the backend comes with cool inbuilt features like
controlling user privilege so your staff accounts can be limited to only what they
should edit ensuring you feel more secure and in charge of your site.
The front-end is built with the backend in mind so can specify when you want content
to appear, disable viewing of content instantly and arrange your content based on
your preference. Your creativity is the limit of what's possible... within reason, just be
reasonable it's code not magic. 😄

At first, this started by reimplementing the old site in WordPress with Django, but
during development, some additional improvements were added along to make it as
easy on the eye on desktop and on mobile.
Since its launch, I've been adding some features to existing pages including new ones
as new ideas come along and new ways to make the user learn the information shared
on the site but still guided by their interest find sufficient information to make an
informed decision.

Digital Marketing
07/2019 – 08/2019
Digital marketing is the marketing of
products or services using digital
technologies, mainly on the Internet, but
also including mobile phones, display
advertising, and any other digital medium.
Developed internal movie & event ticketing platform using reportlab including
designing the layout, js and seat selection
Deployed mobile version of the site that serves a different template for mobile
devices
Implemented JavaScript based caching of results for booking movie tickets that would
give saved results for a selection and at the same time query for new data allowing for
a tailor made offline first experience. It would thereafter update the dict giving a fast
user experience
After the server at time would become unresponsive and needed to be restarted,
implemented a cronjob that would listen and check if gunicorn was running and the
site itself. If so logs "no action taken" otherwise restarts gunicorn and note of the two
which were also down. This made life easier and better way to track the source of the
problem.
Setup Combo offers like couple tickets.
Where needed updated the code, and Django itself from 1.5 to 1.8 compliant
Integrate with payment gateway JamboPay and Bardo
Trained Intern on how to work with Django in deployment
Lamu Software
12/2012 – 12-2014
With little experience using Django on actual projects and more so using CSS and JS I
worked on a few simpler projects getting used to developing, styling a site, adding
features with jQuery and deploying it to the server.
With time I got comfortable dealing with most of the development cycle including
debugging and fixing issues.
