Coding Ponies is the commercial side of Andrew Godwin (my personal site is aeracode.org).

I've been writing web applications since 2003, and these days I specialise in advanced Django or Python work. I also have a large range of other useful skills for a web environment - I'm a pretty capable frontend developer (JavaScript and CSS), I've worked with a large number of databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL, Redis, MongoDB, MS SQL, Oracle), I'm well versed in GIS issues (storage, coordinate systems, searching and display) and other parts of the web technology stack (various webservers, memcache, Varnish, Nagios, Munin).

Django is my main strength; as well as writing the leading database migrations library for Django, I've contributed bugfixes to Django core itself, and have been working with it for the last three and a half years.

I'm familiar with a wide range of other technology, from 2D graphics (Canvas, or server-side rendered overlays for maps, for example), lower-level communication (WebSockets are particularly relevant, but I've written game servers before as well), version control systems (see Heechee, my Subversion server that's backed by Mercurial) and other less relevant topics (3D graphics/WebGL aren't yet fully part of the web, unfortunately). I'm also a proponent of unit testing, automated deployment, and continuous integration (of course, some projects don't need the latter)

I'm based in London, UK, and if you're close by, I'm more than happy to come and meet you personally and/or do work on site. If not, don't worry; most timezones are quite easy to coordinate with, and I'm quite used to working remotely.

I'm currently not taking on new clients, unfortunately, so if you're interested I apologise for making you read this far down!
