C was my first language and is the language I think in when solving and discussing programming.  I love its clean minimalism and simplicity, "everything you need, nothing you don't" philosophy.  I have written the most code in C, and contributed to several open source C projects and started some of my own including a C interpreter, which more than anything else I think shows my understanding of the language (https://www.openhub.net/accounts/robert_winkler).  I have several other C projects that aren't finished/public yet but will be soon.

I've written many projects in C++ both on my own, for college coursework and at several of my jobs.  Currently what I use it for is graphics programming, specifically OpenGL  There are many things I don't like about C++, but for graphics programming, operator overloading is a wonderful thing and object/method syntax doesn't hurt either.

I specifically learned Python in 2011 and that was my first exposure to Python.  My experience is mostly small/medium programming problems (ie contest style, Project Euler),  a client-server tool for work, several web scrapping programs, a code formatting project on Github and one prototype game using tkinter.

I'm an experienced Linux user and developer.  All my projects are developed on, and primarily for, Linux.  My development tools are the shell, vim, gcc/clang, premake4, gdb, and valgrind.

I've been writing OpenGL 3.3+ programs for about 4 years.  I'm fairly well versed in the modern 3D graphics pipeline, and of course programmable shaders and GLSL

Besides covering MIPS in college, I've helped a lot of students with it over the last couple years.  In addition I've written a decent amount of x86_64 assembly on my own and helped a handful of students with that as well.  I've only done a little RISC-V but it's heavily influenced by and similar to MIPS, so I feel comfortable with it as well.

I've used git for all of my personal projects and at my last 4 jobs.  I'm not a super guru because I haven't had a lot of reason to use the more esoteric features but I know my way around and can figure out what I want pretty quickly even when It's not familiar.
