Duties

Build, test, publish, and maintain the company's core website and all integrations.

Python/Django: From concept to deployment, I utilized my Django expertise in all phases of software development including development, maintenance, and support. I also ensured that the company website had 99.3% uptime and all features were operational, including any third-party integration, APIs, Media Hosting, Payments, Marketing and Mobile apps.

Linux/Ubuntu: Assured that server resources including databases are effectively distributed to boost website speed and to provide a better customer experience. During the website attack, we made sure data was safe, server resources were protected, and the website was available to stay online. Created modern development practices that helped the team deploy code in production more effectively and in a safe manner.

Marketing: Utilizing my social media marketing skills and related technical knowledge, I provided various solutions to the marketing team to make their workflow easier and more professional. The image post could for instance be automatically generated from a Python library such as Pillow and posted on Instagram at a designated time. This brought a ~91% user engagement jump over 3 month period and increased 45% new member subscriptions.

Elevate Scholarship by Google News: Selected among top-50 media professionals from 23 countries capable of bringing innovation to the industry. It was a privilege to learn from directors of some of the biggest online news companies, such as the BBC, about how to innovate in the modern online news industry.
