My name is Fred Baptiste.

I started my career with a PhD in mathematics and have been programming professionally for over 25 years in a variety of technologies and languages, including Python, .Net (C# and VB), Java, C++, and JavaScript to name a few, and databases including relational SQL databases such as MS SQL Server and Postgres as well as No-SQL databases such as MongoDB, Couchbase and Neo4j.

Since 2011 I have been focused on Python almost exclusively, mainly in REST API development and data management and analysis using back-end databases such as SQL Server, Postgres and MongoDB.

I have spent a lot of time and effort learning and gaining an in-depth understanding of Python and writing idiomatic Python, and I'd like to share that with you.

I'm definitely a Python enthusiast for many reasons, and I'd like to share that passion with you too!
