My name is Daniel Blasco Calzada. Currently I am working as Java Engineer in Aberdeen (Scotland). Previously I was working part-time for five years in Barcelona, developing web apps in Django. Here is my Linkedin profile: http://www.linkedin.com/in/danibla For personal reasons I had to work for a year as Java engineer in Aberdeen but I always wanted to go back to Python development. Now, my intention is to find in Edinburgh a Django or Python related job, preferably in web development. Currently, I am researching Django or Python related companies in Edinburgh and I was wondering if you pythonistas could help me and reply to me with some company names. Any help would be much appreciated. For now, this is the list of companies that I could find, most of them thanks to Dougal Matthews and Mark Smith, members of this list: FanDuel Skyscrapper Union http://union.co.uk MakeItSocial QueryClick Mercurytide Many Thanks, Daniel Blasco (blascodan in the #python-scotland irc channel) PS. Job vacancies would be even better than company names :) -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:
