Professionally and casually program in python, it is my language of choice. I also enjoy teaching python.

I use Tornado's asynchronous features to do the "lightweight lifting" of serving web-pages, leaving most of the I/O and heavy tasks to other backend services like the database.

Experience combining asyncio with the tornado web server. Using asyncio/tornado to vertically scale. Asyncio is the future (in python).

Template metaprogramming was once a fun hobby of mine. Familiar with the language, standard library, and boost.

I use C for dynamic library interfaces, and low-level programming. I also program in opencl (GPU programming, in C99-based language) on occasion.

I love JS. I hate JS. WATMAN (https://www.destroyallsoftware.com/talks/wat).

Been programming it for a long time, prefer to stay away, but I use it on occasion.

I found that most users of JS don't know what is going on underneath; I've taught several people about how class work, and the intricacies of the "this" keyword.

Any developer who even *touches* JS in the browser must know jquery ...

I've found that frameworks like bootstrap make tasks like layout design of a page a science rather than an art, and saves countless hours of fighting with css and multiple browser versions (though that still happens :)

MySQL and Postgres, db design, db and query optimization.

I've used postgres as the backend storage, and to keep chunks of application logic inside the database via procedures. I've also forked a pure python postgres client library called pg8000; my fork adapts it to be asynchronous using python's asyncio.

I used to use MySQL more often, and then I switched to PostgreSQL for the most part

Wrote an opengl4 graphics wrapper API [sgfxapi](https://github.com/realazthat/sgfxapi) mostly for learning and teaching purposes.

Specific and narrow usage; I'm not all-knowing, but I can get by.


Specific and narrow usage; I'm not all-knowing, but I can get by.

Wrote a Marching Cubes engine for fun, with LOD, octree-based chunk managment, and the TransVoxel Algorithm for stitching; have assisted in designing Minecraft-style and Dual Contouring-based engines (for fun).

Designing or reverse engineering network protocols.

Have some experience writing scripts automating series of ffmpeg filters, including filter-complex.
