I have made daemons, guardium plugins, web applications, internet crawlers. I have used python's multiprocesing to simulate large networks in order to test application layer protocols, as well as lower level routing algorithms. I've used python to interact with many different database types including some home grown ones. I've done a lot of very different things with Python and can usually make it dance. There are very few aspects I haven't had to dig into at some point or another. I am familiar with many of the built in libraries.

I use Git daily in my work. I usually work with small teams and have experimented with a few different work flows.

Designing, writing and deploying scalable software

Some of the tooling I develop requires a front-end, I usually opt for web applications. I use jquery to make responsive, functional and visually appealing web apps.

I use it when I must - usually in combination with some python based web framework. I can make things look reasonable but tend to rely heavily on jquery-ui themeroller for that.

I've used angular to do some fairly involved things but I would not yet call myself an expert. I've made the basics such as controllers, services, directives and am familiar with their uses. I've used it in place of d3.js for some svg manipulations and played a lot with $q and related things. Done fancy filtrations etc.

I mostly used drone to update Google app engine applications and kurbenetes deployments. Although the only CI/CD platform I have used is Drone, many of my most important learnings can be applied to other platforms

I've had to scrape some fairly involved websites. The most technically challenging scrape-like application I built required launching headless chrome browsers in short lived docker containers. As I write this I am in the middle of a scraping a modern web application (running React)

A lot of my work has been around creating apis that hook into complex back-end machinery. Of course consuming apis is part of that

I have made use of both SQL and NoSQL in many different applications. I have experience in selecting the right db for the job, designing sensible schemas and, of course, intercting with the databases. 

My primary operating system is Linux. I'm very comfortable in the terminal. I have also deployed many applications to Linux based environments and containers
