Advanced Python & Software Engineering Portfolio

Note to Employers & Recruiters

This repository is a focused portfolio demonstrating mastery of modern Python's most powerful features. Each project directory showcases a core concept essential for building robust, high-performance, and maintainable applications:

Static Type Hinting (for reliable code)

Asynchronous Programming (for high-concurrency)

Software Testing (for robust development)

These projects reflect a deep understanding of Python internals and best practices.

🚀 Project Showcase

Project Directory*    Concept / Skill Demonstrated     Key Technologies

  1. 0x00-python_variable_annotations     Python Type Annotations    Python 3.7+, Typing module

This project demonstrates a deep understanding of Python's type hinting system (PEP 484). It covers annotating variables, function parameters, and return values to write cleaner, more robust, and self-documenting code.


  1. 0x01-python_async_function     Asynchronous Programming    Python, asyncio, async/await

This project explores the fundamentals of asynchronous programming in Python. It includes writing coroutines with async/await, creating concurrent asyncio.Task instances, and managing the async event loop.


  1. 0x02-python_async_comprehension     Advanced Async Concepts    Python, asyncio, Async Comprehensions

Expands on async programming by using asynchronous comprehensions and generators. This demonstrates how to write highly efficient, non-blocking code for processing streams of data.

  1. 0x03-Unittests_and_integration_tests     Unit & Integration Testing    Python, unittest, unittest.mock

Shows proficiency in writing comprehensive tests for Python code. This includes using the unittest framework, mocking external APIs and dependencies (unittest.mock), and structuring both unit and integration tests.

**🛠️ Key Skills Demonstrated**
The projects in this repository collectively showcase my proficiency in:

Advanced Python Programming: Writing robust, modern code using type hinting, async/await, and async comprehensions.

Concurrency & Performance: Building non-blocking applications capable of handling many tasks concurrently using asyncio.

Software Testing & TDD: Writing comprehensive unit and integration tests to ensure code quality and reliability.

Code Quality & Maintainability: Creating self-documenting and robust code through the use of static typing.

Mocking & Integration: Isolating code for testing and simulating external dependencies using unittest.mock.

📦 How to Explore

Each directory is a standalone project. To run any of them:

Clone this repository.

Navigate into a specific project folder (e.g., cd 0x01-python_async_function).

Each project has its own set of dependencies. Please refer to the requirements.txt within each folder (if applicable).

(Developer Note: I highly recommend adding a simple README.md inside each project folder with specific 1-2-3 steps on how to install and run that project. This shows professionalism!)
