Experienced developer available for work on new projects. Some of my recent projects have included web scraping/data processing, NLP/sentiment analysis, and custom video compositing. I’m particularly passionate about testing and a stickler for details; there's few things I like better than finding ways to break things.

Keywords: Python, Ruby, Go, JS, PHP, QA, Selenium, django-webtest, factory-boy, CasperJS, mitmproxy, nltk, scrapy
