About Oren Codes

Hi — I’m Oren Cohen, a backend engineer, content creator, and the person behind Oren Codes.
For the past 8 years, I’ve been building production-grade Python systems — everything from APIs and developer tools to distributed microservices — inside fast-moving startups.
But this site isn’t about my startup war stories.
It’s about the resource I wish I had when I was starting out: practical, production-minded Python content written by someone who’s been in the trenches.
Why I Started Oren Codes
When I first learned to code, I was stuck in an endless loop: tutorial → docs → Stack Overflow → repeat.
It took me years to connect the dots — not just how to write Python, but how to think like a backend engineer.
Oren Codes is my way of shortening that journey for others. Here’s what you’ll find here:
- Real-world Python for beginners who want to go beyond toy problems.
- Production-focused guides — not clickbait or filler.
- Lessons learned the hard way, so you don’t have to make the same mistakes.
Whether you’re a student, bootcamp grad, or just starting out in backend development, you’re welcome here.
This Site Is Real
Oren Codes isn’t just a personal blog floating in cyberspace.
