• Lead the Python development, using an MVC approach for the application, and use SqlAlchemy as an ORM
• Create and maintain the Azure Devops pipelines and git repositories

By the end of the project the client had a robust and scalable Python application, based on a scalable, Model View Controller application architecture, and a robust database.
