Jaime Buelta

Jaime Buelta is a Software Architect who has been a professional programmer since 2002 and a Python enthusiast since 2010. He has developed software for a variety of fields, focusing, in the last 10 years, on developing web services in Python in the gaming, finance and education industries. He is a strong proponent of automating everything to make computers do most of the heavy lifting, so humans can focus on the important stuff. He published his first book, "Python Automation Cookbook", in 2018 (recently with an extended second edition), followed a year later by "Hands-On Docker for Microservices with Python" describing how to migrate to a microservice architecture. He is currently living in Dublin, Ireland, and is a regular speaker at PyCon Ireland.
