I'm constantly using Python as it's useful for almost everything. From data visualization to web development, to integrating with APIs.

Django is my absolute favorite web framework. I have an entire GitHub profile filled with Django projects I've built for teaching and have used many of them as boilerplates for larger projects, including my own website.

React is my go-to frontend technology. I've used it in almost all of my projects, mainly using it to power the frontend of my website, JustDjango.

I've been using JavaScript for all kinds of projects from Chrome extensions, to backend development with node to building functional web pages with React.

Next.js has been an awesome technology to use for both client side and server side rendering. I've used it to build static-generated sites and apps rendering dynamic content. The developer experience is great and I continue to use it in my projects today.

Ever since I started using TypeScript my experience with JavaScript became much better. I enjoy frontend development as much as backend development. The structure and predictability that types gives a developer is such a valuable tool. When I start a new JavaScript project I always setup TypeScript as a first step.

Docker has been an integral tool in configuring environments and deploying micro services. I setup all my projects with Docker and this has definitely contributed to making my work time more efficient. Because of this I get an idea from localhost to production much faster. A must-have tool in my workflow.
