JavaScript is currently my no. 1 language. I've been using it both on the server side and on the client side for the last years of my full-time jobs. During this time, I came to intimately know the language and take advantage of its "good parts". 

Also, I've stayed up-to-date with the language advancements, learning the new features as they came along.

I've been using Node.js professionally for various RESTful APIs using Express / Koa and backed by databases like MongoDB or Neo4j. Touched aspects like auth with JWT, custom role-based permissions or Cypher query optimisations.

While I've only working with React for less than a year, I am lucky to be part of an experienced team, so I was able to learn it pretty quickly. I like React because it also resonates with my preference for functional programming, especially when used with Redux.

I've recently made a sample project[1] for a local React meet-up presentation[2], showing ways to combine React, Redux and Elm.

I've been a big fan of functional programming for a long time, and have been experimenting with many functional languages over the years. I've recently discovered Elm and I got really excited about its elegance and ease of use. 

So far, I've published an Elm package[1] and gave a talk[2] at our local React meet-up about Elm and ways to integrate it into an existing JS app. I've also built some small Elm apps at two hackathons.
