Welcome to my site

London Festival of Architecture, Canadian High Commission

I am Richard Barran, a freelance web developer based in St Albans, close to London, UK.

I specialise in creating websites with the up-and-coming Django web framework, and more generally in writing Python code.I work both as an independent web developer, creating turnkey sites for customers, and as a contractor, working as part of a team on larger projects.

Web developer

See my portfolio page for some examples of sites that I have created. I play to the strengths of the Django framework, creating sites that require a significant amount of customisation: e.g. user management, interfacing with third-party systems, internationalisation.

Contractor

You can find a good resume on my LinkedIn profile which lists the projects I've recently been involved with; I'm also listed on Django People.

A self-proclaimed code monkey, I am flexible and can code, configure servers, talk to end users & interpret their requirements, design systems, etc...

Please contact me if you have a Django-related project underway.
