You might want to extend AbstractUser like this :

from django.contrib.auth.models import AbstractUser

class MyUser(AbstractUser):

    slug = models.UUIDField(default=uuid4, blank=True, editable=False)
    created_at = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True)
    updated_at = models.DateTimeField(auto_now=True)

    picture = models.ImageField('Profile picture',
                                upload_to='profile_pics/%Y-%m-%d/',
                                null=True,
                                blank=True)

And so on
