🛠️ Tech Stack

I've been a full-stack developer making applications, scripts, and fun projects since 2015. Started with Python and Discord bots, now building full-stack apps with Typescript and exploring embedded systems. Big fan of open-source software, self-hosting, and homelabbing. Here's a breakdown of my tech stack I've picked up along my almost decade-long journey.

Languages

• TypeScript is my bread and butter, using it for almost all projects
• JavaScript was my primary language before transitioning to TypeScript
• Python was my first programming language, now mainly used for scripting
• Rust is my latest learning adventure, really enjoying systems programming
• Java & Kotlin experience from university projects
• Haskell was a fascinating university course that I'd love to revisit
• Go is my next language to learn

Web Development

• React is my go-to framework, especially for complex applications
• Vue was my first introduction to frontend frameworks
• Next.js is my choice for more involved React projects
• Astro is my preferred framework for simpler web projects
• HTML/CSS fundamentals, though I've mostly moved to using frameworks
• Tailwind CSS is now my preferred styling solution
• Three.js for creating engaging 3D web experiences

Backend & Runtime

• Bun has become my primary runtime for TypeScript projects
• Node.js was my runtime of choice before Bun
• Elixir is a recent addition I'm exploring and enjoying

Database & ORM

• PostgreSQL is my current go-to database
• MongoDB was my primary database during my "NoSQL everything" phase
• MySQL used in earlier projects
• SQLite for simple local database needs
• Prisma for all TypeScript database interactions
• Supabase for hosted PostgreSQL and auth services

DevOps & Cloud

• Docker is used in almost all my projects
• Kubernetes experience from homelab experiments
• Cloudflare for DNS, workers, and tunnel services
• AWS & GCP experience from various projects
• Nginx as reverse proxy in my homelab setup
• Cloudflare Workers for serverless solutions

Development Environment

• Git/GitHub/GitLab for all version control needs
• VS Code as my current editor
• Neovim is my next learning goal
• Figma for occasional design work
• Obsidian for all note-taking and documentation

Operating Systems

• Arch Linux is my daily driver
• Ubuntu for all my servers
• Windows mainly for gaming now

IoT & Hardware

• Arduino experience, though I've moved more toward ESP32 and RP2040s
• Raspberry Pi used in many projects throughout my homelab and house
