Michael R. Smith — Django Full-Stack Developer

02 — about

What I Bring to Every Django Project

🗄️

Models & ORM

I design clean data models and use Django's ORM to write efficient, readable queries. From relational schemas to admin panel integration — the data layer is always solid.

🏗️

Views, URLs & Templates

I wire up full request/response cycles with class-based and function-based views, URL routing, and Bootstrap 5 templates that look great on any device.

🚀

Full-Stack Deployment

Both projects are live on Render with PostgreSQL, WhiteNoise static files, Gunicorn, and automated build pipelines — production-ready, not just localhost demos.
