Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolRobert Baxter is a pragmatic software developer with 14 years of experience specializing in backend, server, tooling, testing and verification, with a strong preference for Python API work using Django and Flask. Based in Portland, he blends freelance agility with enterprise experience (Cisco) to re-architect systems, integrate third-party APIs like eBay Trading, and deliver accessible, localized web portals and mobile security features. He ships pragmatic prototypes—WYSIWYG email editors, drag-and-drop product callouts, multicast mobile connections and game mechanics—while also tackling infrastructure concerns (NGINX, uWSGI, AWS/Rackspace) and automation testing (Selenium/PhantomJS). Comfortable full-stack when it makes sense, he brings a history of rescuing and modernizing legacy Flash/ActionScript projects into JavaScript and native iOS. Colleagues benefit from his steady, long-term focus and his habit of pairing UX-minded front-end touches with robust backend design.
