<h1 id="overview">Overview</h1>
<p>Heya! I&rsquo;m Kenneth. I write <a href="https://oreilly.com">code for a living</a>. I used to <a href="https://teamtreehouse.com/kennethlove">teach Python</a> as a job. I also <a href="https://github.com/kennethlove">participate in open source</a>. I also offer
<a href="/mentoring/">private mentoring</a> and <a href="/code-review/">code review</a>. I do a lot of other things, too, but you&rsquo;re probably not here for them.</p>
<p>I&rsquo;ve been a developer for well over a decade now. I&rsquo;ve worked for <a href="https://tindie.com">ecommerce sites</a>, <a href="https://bricksf.com">design firms</a>, and did freelance development for a long time.  I have experience
setting up servers, using third-party services, building bots for various systems, and more. I also built a pretty popular <a href="https://github.com/brack3t/django-braces">collection of mixins</a> for Django&rsquo;s class-based
views. Some of them even got <a href="https://github.com/django/django/commit/e5cb4e14118f3a508e3bc00ee7cd50bb0f18a61d">merged into Django itself</a>.</p>
<p>I&rsquo;m also a frequent conference presenter and sometimes do programming live streams.</p>
<p>In the past, I&rsquo;ve <a href="https://djangogirls.org/portland/">helped organize workshops</a> and <a href="https://djangocon.us">conferences</a>. Basically, I have a lot of fingers and I like to keep them in pies.  That&rsquo;s such a weird phrase.</p>
