Hey, I'm juftin (Justin Flannery) 
I'm a software engineer and Python developer with a focus on platform engineering
and machine learning operations - based out of Denver, Colorado, USA.
My work with data has spanned from being on the front lines as an analyst and data
scientist, building out data platforms, architecting machine learning recommendation
systems, and working on scalable applications as a backend and platform engineer.
Currently, I work as part of an engineering team building clinical software products
with AI and machine learning.
I’m very interested in machine learning operations (MLOps), big data engineering,
distributed systems, large language models, and everything open source.
When I’m not coding you can find me camping with my partner and our son
(and our two dogs), catching a bluebird day skiing in Colorado, or soaking
up the sun at a bluegrass concert.
Now is better than never.
Although never is often better than right now.

What I'm Working On 
In my free time I try to build tools and software that spark joy ✨. Below are a few of my more public facing
GitHub repositories and some details about the projects.
camply, the campsite finder ⛺️, is a tool to help you book an online campground. Finding
reservations at sold out campgrounds can be tough. That's where camply comes in. It searches the
APIs of Booking Services like https://recreation.gov (which works on thousands of campgrounds across
the USA) to continuously check for cancellations and availabilities to pop up. Once a campsite
becomes available, camply sends you a notification to book your spot!
You can install camply easily via pipx install camply.
browsr 🗂️ is a pleasant file explorer in your terminal. It's a command line TUI application
that empowers you to browse the contents of local and remote directories with your keyboard or
mouse. You can quickly navigate through directories and peek at files whether they're hosted
locally, in AWS S3, Google Cloud Storage, or Azure Blob Storage. View code files with syntax
highlighting, format JSON files, render images, convert CSV and Parquet files to datatables
and more. Get going with all of browsr's superpowers with pipx install "browsr[all]".
I've always been a big TV and Movies nerd. On the weekends you can find me searching RottenTomatoes
for the latest certified fresh 🍅 pick. homelab is a multi-container docker-compose
application that supports every aspect of hosting your own media server at home. homelab
includes everything you needto host a website for your friends and
family to request new content be downloaded, services to find and securely download the latest
movies and shows, and underneath it all a Plex media server to support playback of the content
anywhere and on any device.
Welcome to llm-term 💬, a command line utility that allows you to chat with LLM models directly
from the comfort of your command line - this includes OpenAI (ChatGPT), Anthropic, and more. This tool leverages
Langchain and Rich to facilitate real-time conversations with LLM models in your terminal. It enhances the
user experience by streaming responses as rich text, complete with code-formatting and syntax highlighting.
Get started with pipx install llm-term and stay on the command line!
hatch-pip-compile is the missing lockfile capability for the hatch Python
project tool 🥚. It's a hatch plugin that connects your hatch-managed virtual environment to a lockfile
managed with pip-compile. The plugin detects whether your
environment or lockfile is out to date and automatically syncs them when needed - and it's fast!

Lunch Money is a "delightfully simple personal finance & budgeting app" -
and my current tool of choice to manage my finances. lunchable 🍱 is a Python API Client for the
Lunch Money Developer API. It’s built on top of pydantic, it offers an intuitive API, a simple CLI,
complete coverage of all endpoints and plugins to other external services.
dotfiles 🌈 is a collection of my personal dotfiles for macOS, Linux, zsh, and
everything else. It's a set of configuration files with an opinionated set of tools and
configurations based on my personal preferences. dotfiles are a personal preference so if
my files aren't for you, you'll enjoy the dev-setup 📔 documentation which helps you
get up and running on your own macOS or Linux machine.
dotfiles can be installed with curl -fsSL https://juftin.com/dotfiles/get | bash.
My personal cookiecutter template 🚀, might be your new secret weapon for Python projects.
It's an all-in-one development toolkit that operates seamlessly in your coding environment.
Imagine managing your project's virtual environment and development tools with uv,
managing all your development needs with task, effortlessly formatting and linting your
masterpiece with ruff, and checking types using mypy. Literally all of the CI/CD details
have been taken care of. Unleash the full potential of your Python project with juftin's
personal cookiecutter template. Get started with cookiecutter gh:juftin/cookiecutter-python.
The zoo project 🦁🐼🐨, an asynchronous zoo API powered by FastAPI, SQLAlchemy 2.0,
Pydantic v2, and Alembic. zoo is a simple yet robust API example that allows you to manage
a zoo. It utilizes modern tools and practices, including a production-ready server (Uvicorn),
modern SQL ORM (SQLAlchemy 2.0), data validation (Pydantic v2), and database migrations (Alembic).
This project serves as an excellent starting point for building your own API, outlining the
basic structure of an API project and providing examples of implementing common features.
