Available to hire
Hello! I’m Ceri Russell, a software developer based in the United Kingdom with experience across Switzerland, the USA, Canada, and the UK. I’m committed to delivering high-quality software and enjoy turning complex requirements into robust, maintainable code.
Professionally, I specialize in Python and Django, building REST APIs, and deploying services on AWS. I’ve led a rewrite from PHP to Python, created client portals, and collaborated with cross-functional teams to integrate systems such as Salesforce. I value testable code and proactive communication with stakeholders.
