About Laurence

Laurence Gellert

I am an experienced software developer specializing in Python/Django, JavaScript (React, Angular, jQuery), iOS/Android hybrid apps, API integrations, and AWS. Aside from Python which has been my language of choice recently, past jobs utilized Java (Spring, Hibernate, CFX, Maven, etc), PHP, and a few with C#/.NET. So I’m a generalist who leans toward Python and can do front end work too.

I have been writing code since I sat down to my first Apple IIe in grade school (and I played a lot of Number Crunchers back then). My modus operandi is to continuously deliver high quality results on time and on budget.

Professional Summary:

  • Mastery of quality code through abstraction, test coverage, documentation, logging, error handling
  • Data modeling in relational and non-relational data stores
  • Application architecture and integration of applications using APIs, web services (SOAP/REST), OAuth, ETL jobs and message queues
  • Backend / Frontend / Full Stack skillset with a leaning towards the backend (or the backend of the front end)
  • Excellent team player and communicator, adept at collaborating with fellow IT staff, internal customers,
    clients, and stakeholders. Explaining technical concepts in a non-technical way is one of my talents
  • Outstanding technical writing – spec documents, code comments, internal documentation, collaboration tools
  • Technical leadership of small teams and mentoring of junior developers
  • Experience in startups, small businesses, R&D, manufacturing, SaaS, ecommerce, ERP systems, government contracts, education, marketing agencies, fintech, integrated with countless APIs, multiple software stacks
  • Passion for everything software related and a lifelong learner!
