Ken Whitesell

I am a software developer with more than 40 years of professional experience across more platforms, languages and operating systems than I care to count.

Currently, I'm a member of the Baltimore-based Digital Services group within WSP, working in the Traffic Engineering field on projects involving Connected Vehicles and Smart Infrastructure / Smart Intersection projects. Django is our "go-to" tool for building configuration and testing suites for systems being embedded within traffic intersections.

Additionally, I am a moderator on the Django Forum web site, and I try to answer questions there as well.

When you aren't seeing me working with Django or on the forum, you'll likely find me at a table playing board games.

Django, Channels, HTMX and coturn can all be combined to create a system capable of allowing live conversations among individuals
