I am pleased to offer consulting services for Python and Django projects through my company, Adam’s Web Services Ltd (A.W.S.), established in 2019.
I focus on:
My work consists of golden interlocking flywheels: consulting, writing, and open source. If you have an issue I’ve seen before, I might have a blog post, book section, or open source package that can help. If it’s new to me, I’ll likely write new prose or code to offer a well-considered solution and receive community feedback.
If you think I can help you, please email me for more details.
Some quotes from happy clients:
We worked with Adam to upgrade about 20 open source repos of varying size and quality. He organized a plan and executed it perfectly without causing any friction to the team. Along the way, he found other areas of our code that needed work or improvement, and he gave helpful advice there too. He's an expert, he's organized, and he delivers.
—Mike Lissner, Executive Director at Free Law Project
Adam was instrumental in the early days of ev.energy guiding and defining our Django architecture, as well as migrating us to fully automated deployments in AWS. He really set the bar for technical quality, and helped us to balance the need to move fast with a culture of quality and judicial investment in our DX. Without Adam, we would have encountered many more speed bumps scaling to a $100m+ business. With his support, we were able to adapt quickly and also trust we were building our technology on firm foundations. If you're using Django or thinking about it, there's no one else I'd recommend as a thought partner and hands-on contributor on your mission!
—Chris Darby, ex-CTO of ev.energy, on LinkedIn
We wanted to enlist some outside talent to review our infrastructure and ensure we were off to a great start. Adam came in and was helpful within minutes, tweaking and improving in small and big ways.
We're a small team and having Adam's expert guidance was incredibly powerful. In total his consultation took only a few days and was, dollar-for-dollar, the best money we could've spent for this kind of thing. If you need django-insights, Adam is an amazing option!
—Keyton Weissinger, CTO of Copient.ai, on LinkedIn
I cannot recommend Adam enough.
We’ve been direct colleagues, where I had the pleasure of collaborating with him on a real-time recommendation engine. Adam is a true expert, blending high-level strategic insights with deep technical knowledge in areas like Python, databases, and Git. One of his greatest strengths is his ability to bridge the gap between complex technical concepts and practical application.
What sets Adam apart is his dedication to helping others. Whether it’s troubleshooting tough problems, mentoring peers, or writing blog posts and books, he’s always eager to share his expertise. Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to hire him multiple times to lead workshops, where he’s consistently delivered top-notch sessions.
If the opportunity to work with Adam comes up in the future, I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to reach out to him.
—Jeroen Janssens, author of Data Science at the Command Line and Python Polars: The Definitive Guide, on LinkedIn.
If you need help writing tests, Adam is an amazing resource. He was able to understand and work with our codebase very quickly. Not only did he create a robust test suite, he also helped us streamline our development workflow by setting up CI/CD pipelines and pre-commit hooks. We couldn’t be happier with the work he did for us and highly recommend his services for any Python and Django project.
—Nat Dunn, CEO of Webucator, on LinkedIn.
Adam's been great for us - we normally do a monthly round of firefighting technical debt (issues ranging from our database backup being slow, dev tooling, testing, speeding up our internal site etc.).
