👋🏻 I'm Galen (he/him), a professional developer with broad webdev knowledge who specializes in backend engineering since 2014, particularly using Python frameworks like FastAPI, Django, and Polars. More recently I've been learning Rust and Java, looking for ways to augment or replace existing processes with more efficient tooling.

I'm also quite fond of building developer-centric tooling, processes, and documentation.

• Python
• FastAPI, Django, Flask
• Polars, Pandas
• Docker, Kubernetes, Helm charts
• Tilt
• PostgreSQL
• GitHub Actions
• GCP (BigQuery, BigTable, PubSub, GKE)
• MkDocs static sites (preference for Material for MkDocs)

• JavaScript
• TypeScript
• TailwindCSS
• C# (ASP.NET)

• All of the above; it never stops!
• Rust (particularly Polars and the poem framework)
• PyO3
• Java (Spring Boot)
