03 Also

Beyond the packages documented here, I help to maintain a number of key packages in the Django ecosystem: Django REST Framework, Django Filter, Django Crispy Forms, Django Compressor, Django AppConf, the Channels trio (Channels, Daphne, Channel Redis), and django-template-partials, reusable named template fragments for the Django Template Language.

Between 2018 and 2023 I served as a Django Fellow, contracted by the Django Software Foundation to work on maintenance of Django itself. The weekly Fellow reports from that time are archived here.
