Hello,
I would like to apply to your XXXXX position. Just take a look at my resume (attached) to see all my experience in the web development field and in Python in particular.
In a nutshell, I have 10 years of experience in webdev, of which last two are in Python+Django. Actually, I am language agnostic, which means that language by itself is not very significant for me -- they are all the same; but platform, paradigm and typical architecture of language-specific solutions could make the difference.
On the one hand, I am very interested in building application architectures, _developing_ them (not just _coding_), and solving the business tasks with use of technology rather tan making the thing just for making them. On the other hand, I like to create some experimental applications for fun if I see a problem (business or real-life) to be solved, and usually these applications spill over into lot of coding with new technologies and techniques. For example, right now I'm working on one of such services for my own: human (i.e. not machine) translation with use of Amazon MTurk and alike services; and as a side project I've made object-oriented Twitter API library (https://github.com/nolar/tootwi)
If you are interested in going on with me (to an interview or personal meeting) -- feel free to contact me at (650) 937-9600 or by email at nolar@nolar.info
Regards, Sergey Vasilyev.
