My Development Toolkit
The Tools That Power My Work
Every craftsman needs the right tools. Here's my carefully curated collection of technologies, frameworks, and utilities that help me build robust, scalable software.
Programming Languages
Java
My primary language for backend development. I love its strong typing, object-oriented design, and the mature ecosystem around it.
JavaScript / TypeScript
For frontend development and modern web applications. TypeScript's type safety has made me a better developer.
SQL
Database design and query optimization. Understanding data relationships and efficient storage is crucial for scalable applications.
Python
My go-to for automation scripts, data wrangling, and AI prototyping—clean syntax plus rich libraries keep experiments fast.
Go
Ideal for highly concurrent services and background workers—Magpie's geospatial ingest pipeline is powered by Go routines.
C++
For system programming and performance-critical applications. Understanding memory management and low-level concepts.
HTML / CSS
The foundation of web development. Semantic HTML and modern CSS techniques for responsive, accessible interfaces.
Frameworks & Libraries
React
Component-based UI development with hooks and modern patterns.
Next.js
Full-stack React framework with SSR and optimized performance.
Node.js Runtime
Event-driven APIs, background jobs, and developer tooling written in Node.js + TypeScript.
Vue.js
Progressive JavaScript framework for building user interfaces.
Express.js
Minimal and flexible Node.js web application framework.
TailwindCSS / Bootstrap
Utility-first CSS frameworks for rapid UI development.
Strapi CMS
Headless CMS used to empower marketing teams with schema-driven content and editorial workflows.
Shadcn/UI + Radix
Modern component library with accessible design patterns.
Databases & Cloud Infrastructure
MySQL
Reliable relational database for structured data storage.
PostgreSQL
Advanced open-source database with rich feature set.
MongoDB
NoSQL database for flexible document storage.
Oracle
Enterprise-grade relational database experience for clients with legacy stacks.
AWS
Cloud computing platform for scalable infrastructure.
Kubernetes
Container orchestration for rolling updates, autoscaling, and self-healing services.
Docker
Containerization platform for consistent deployments.
GitHub Actions
CI/CD automation for streamlined development workflows.
Jenkins
Battle-tested automation server powering blue/green deploys and quality gates.
