I am a core developer of requests and I am a maintainer of Flake8, and charade. I am the author of github3.py, the requests toolbelt, betamax, uritemplate.py, and rfc3986. I regularly contribute to urllib3, pep8, pyflakes, and other dependencies of the software I maintain daily. I work for Rackspace on OpenStack and projects that directly affect its success. The software I use and maintain (in Python and Ruby) has well over 25 million downloads. I am constantly searching for ways to empower marginalized groups in technology and Open Source Software.
