Menelaos K.

I'm a senior Django & Python engineer with 10+ years of experience building production-grade web applications and APIs for UK and EU companies. I specialise in: Django REST APIs — clean, scalable, well-documented AI integrations — Claude, OpenAI, LLM-powered features built into Django backends Full-stack Django — HTMX, Tailwind, PostgreSQL, Stripe billing Python tooling & automation — scripting, data pipelines, custom packages I'm the co-author of alt-profanity-check, a Python library with 150,000+ monthly downloads and one of the top packages on PyPI — so you can trust that I write code other people actually use and rely on. I work with agencies and product teams that need a senior dev who delivers without hand-holding. No disappearing acts, no vague updates, just solid code, on time. Currently working with clients in the UK and EU. Available for part-time contracts and one-off projects. Why work with me? Senior-level experience at competitive freelance rates Deep Django expertise — not a generalist who "also knows Django" Real open-source credibility (150K+ monthly downloads) Comfortable with modern AI/LLM integrations — a rare combo
