Hi, my name is Zev. I live in Burlington, Vermont, in the United States.
+
+
As of August 2018 I'm available for full-time employment as a back-end Flask engineer.
+ My preferred stack is
+
+
+ - Python
+ - Flask
+ - Pytest
+ - SQLAlchemy
+ - Celery
+ - MySQL
+ - AWS (S3, Lambda)
+ - vanilla JavaScript
+
+
+
I'm also familiar with Node.js, PHP, and Django.
+
+
I love to help small businesses solve their worst headaches via technology. Here
+ are a few projects I've completed to that effect. You'll notice that most of those projects are businesses
+ unto themselves: I've started a couple of web-based service businesses, so I have an intimate understanding
+ of the challenges entrepreneurs face, and how to strategically apply code and off-the-shelf technology to those challenges.
+
+
I also love contributing to open source software, as you can see on my Github timeline (external link).
+
+
You can reach me at zev@averba.ch I'll get back to you within a day or so.

Tappt
+
In 2015 a couple friends and I made Tappt (external link) at a hackathon. It's a web app that allows users to search for keywords inside videos. We've since fleshed it out into a commercial service. It's running on Python 3.6 and uses Celery.

Auto-Assigner
+
In the fall of 2017 I designed, implemented, and deployed a work assigner for Averbach Transcription (external link) in Python 3.6. This is run as a background process, assigning transcription work automatically based on transcribers' current workloads and general capacities. It saves Averbach Transcription 5-10 hours of labor every week in assigning and re-assigning transcription projects. This is a private project.

Automatic Invoice Generation
+
In the summer of 2016 I designed, implemented, and deployed automatic invoice generation for Averbach Transcription (external link) in Python 3.5. This integrates with Freshbooks web API v2.1, generating invoices from completed transcription projects. It saves Averbach Transcription 10+ hours of labor every month compared to the old manual invoicing process. This is a private project.

Budget Bot (for Twilio blog)
+
In the summer of 2017 I made a fun little proof of concept SMS budget bot for a blog post (external link) I wrote for the Twilio Voices Blog.
