I've been doing frontend development since the early days of jQuery and have been using Node on and off for the past 5 years with the most recent year being solely Node / Express development

I've been working in the MEAN stack world for the last few years at my day job building a large enterprise application.

I've also built a few other smaller apps using angular.

I've been using Rails 3 for about 2 years or so and have developed simple web sites in rails to get a feel for it and I've also developed larger SaaS apps on rails.

Since jQuery was around version 1.3, I became fascinated with how easy it was to make web pages more animated. I've grown alongside jQuery and use it on almost every web page I've created for one reason or another. 

I'm much more familiar with jQuery over raw JS, but since JS is the backbone of jQuery, I'm familiar with a lot of Javascripts workings.

I've been using MySql since College. It was the DBMS we used to learn on and it's my DBMS of choice for all my side projects. I use it for all my PHP and Rails projects.

Along with MySql, I also have experience with DB2, Oracle, and Ingres. At my previous job, we used Oracle, and at my current job, we use Ingres.

After college I picked up PHP and it was where my curiousity in programming really began. I've written spaghetti code web sites as well as used PHP in MVC frameworks like Codeigniter to develop web apps.

Java is the language we learned in college, and it's the language of choice for large scale applications at my current job.
