Djangogigs.com - Developer details for sergey dimchenko

I have about 4 years of experience in Python and Django (including some experience in Pylons - another Python web-framework) and about 7 years of experience in web-programming and web-development in general.

Now I prefer using Python and Django for my projects, but I often use other languages and technologies - PHP, Perl and even Lisp.

I write clean and standard-compliant HTML (XHTML) and CSS.

While developing front-end JavaScript I prefer using JQuery library.

I work with different versions of MySQL and PostgreSQL RDMS.

I usually use Linux for developing and production. I know how to optimize server and applications for high load (caching, dedicated light server - nginx or lighttpd - for static files, MySQL or PostgreSQL tuning, etc.)

For now my biggest site developed in Django is Free Encyclopedia of Programming Languages - http://progopedia.com/ (Russian version also exists - http://progopedia.ru/ ). The site uses Python, Django, JQuery with TreeView plug-in, Markdown as markup language, Pygments for syntax highlighting, django-reversion for version control, DISQUS and django-disqus for comments.

Another big site partly developed by me - Russian twitter clone with music playing capabilities and elements of social network - http://lichiko.com/ (Alexa Traffic Rank 80,860). The part of site I developed is basically music search engine (Sphinx-powered - see http://www.sphinxsearch.com/) with huge collection of mp3s. It's is mainly AJAX-powered.

Also you can look at my Django-related blog http://mydjangoblog.com/ (this blog is Django-powered too).

I'm interested in Django-related jobs. If you are planning a new site or want to fix bugs or to add features to already created site - you're welcome.
