I'm a French programmer. I write under the name tanren, Japanese for training through repetition.
For the past decade, most of my work has been backend web systems. I work in Python, maintain long-lived applications, build integrations, automate operations, and handle application-security problems.
I care about software that stays understandable and lets people do their work without a developer standing behind them.
