About me
Hello everyone! My name is George and I’m a Full Stack Dev from Brazil.
I have a B.Sc. in Geography, from Universidade Federal de Uberlândia
here in Brazil.
I fell in love with programming and software development around 10 years ago
(it feels more) when I discovered that I could automate map publishing in
ArcGIS
.
From there, I learned Python
, C#
, PostgreSQL
and PostGIS
, which
make up my tool belt.
I’ve worked with many companies and departments here in Brazil, in areas
ranging from environment
to mineral exploration
, going through defense
and transit and transportation
.
I was a employee for a good long time, then we (me, Gustavo and Paulo) reactivated our company, SIGMA Geosistemas, providing consulting services for GIS development and GIS work, in Uberlândia - Minas Gerais. In there I was in charge of the whole development and research part.
That means that I did a lot of work developing software for our customers,
managing our team and adopting the best industry practices, such as TDD
,
CI
, etc. We even created our very own SaaS, Geoadmin, which is a platform
that mixes GIS
with project management
.
Present time
Today I’m open for business. That means that I’m not currently formally employed. While I had a long relation with SIGMA, I’m no longer involved in the company day to day business, acting as a independent contractor.
My focus is on GIS software development (Python, Django and Django Rest Framework), with a Single Page Application front-end (such as Vue2 and React).
I’m an open source advocate and use open-source software on a daily basis. I have a few packages (listed just a few, feel free to check others in Github or Gitlab) published on PYPI, such as:
- django-chaos (project management);
- django-common-models (boilerplate models);
- django-file-context (attach files to anything);
- django-workflow-fsm (runtime finite state machines);
- django-tilestache (create layers in django and have them shown in TileStache);
My skills are:
- Python
- Django/Django REST Framework
- Celery
- JavaScript
- Leaflet
- Mapbox GL JS
- PostgreSQL/PostGIS
- Redis
- RabbitMQ
What is this?
Well, this is a blog/notepad for me and my crazy ideas.
