About Me: Ken Kinder

I am a technical product manager, software developer, and Python enthusiast with 25 years of experience making quality software. Most of my career has been developing scalable line-of-business software and SaaS software. I work at Emissary.ai and am the creator of a handful of free and Open Source projects, notably:

  • PuePy, a Python Frontend Framework that runs in your browser using WebAssembly.
    • Expense Lemur is an example of what is possible in PuePy. It helps friends who travel together manage expenses as they pay for things while traveling.
  • TemplateMail, a Python package that creates deliverable email using Jinja2 templates.
  • Mehditor, a simple but modern text editor with pleasing features.
  • Brancher, a command-line tool to manage Git branches more effectively, using a methodology similar to Git Flow.
  • Django AjaxView, a Django library to quickly communicate between Django views and client-side code.
  • wsgigo, a WSGI router that sends requests to multiple WSGI applications depending on the path requested.

You can also see my archive of code that is no longer relevant or useful.

I have also been published in Linux Journal and Hacker Noon, with reposts available here:
