With a wealth of experience using python in hardware and the aerospace industry Andrea Crotti is currently working as a Python/Django developer in London. Andrea started using Python 7 years ago and is still finds himself amazed with how much he can get done with so little elegant code. He has attended multiple Python conferences in the last few years and enjoys giving talks about various topics, from decorators to TDD.
Struck by TDD a couple of years ago, Andreas has never looked back. He is now on a mission to convince everyone about the great benefits.
