Hello, I’m Lilian, an experienced software engineer, working mainly with the Django web framework and PostgreSQL database. I’ve worked on projects with teams at early stage startups as well as large organizations.

I am a member of the Djangonaut Space Mentorship Program, where I’ve been involved as a mentee, a mentor, a session organizer, and a Space Reviewer. I’m grateful for the mentorship I received through this program. To give back to the community, I love helping others start their open source journey. As one of the Navigators (technical mentors), I’m mentoring a team on contributing to Django core with a focus on the ORM.

I also write a weekly newsletter where I report stats on contributions to Django, and share interesting tidbits about Django, PostgreSQL, open source, personal projects, and more.

You can find me on GitHub, Fediverse, and LinkedIn. If you’re interested in hiring me, please do get in touch.
