I consider myself a generalist, but as of lately I've been shifting more towards a specialist approach. Throughout my career I have worked with the following technologies/languages:

  • C++
  • Visual Basic
  • C#
  • Java
  • JavaScript/Node.js (and a half a dozen of frameworks)
  • HTML/CSS
  • PHP
  • Python
  • Ruby
  • Perl
  • TypeScript
  • AWS
  • Google Cloud
  • Azure
  • MySQL
  • SQL Server
  • MongoDB
  • Docker and Kubernetes
  • Postgres
  • Redis

However, over the last 3 years, I've been diving deep on JavaScript and TypeScript. I really want to become a world-class expert writing JavaScript and working with JavaScript stacks.
