What I Do? top

I design, build and deploy non-trivial software using the right tools, doing whatever it takes to make the project a success.

What is in my skill set? top

I am a full stack developer and have worked with a lot of tools/stacks. However, My primary stacks/skills are :

Python
I did consider myself a dedicated Python developer just a while ago. Currently I switch between Python and NodeJS, depending on the applications need. Have more then three years of working experience with different Python tools and stacks.
  • Django
  • Django Rest Framework
  • Scrapy
  • Channels
  • Celery
  • Wagtail
  • Setuptools
  • unittest
  • dectest
  • pytest
  • Fabric
NodeJS/Express
I love nodejs. It's fast. It's JavaScript. It's Fun. Specially with ES2015. I usually switch between nodejs/express and python/django when it comes to building a RESTful API.
  • Express
  • Passport
  • Axios
  • Lodash
  • Morgan
  • Mocha
  • Chai
NodeJS/Meteor
I have been working with meteor for one year. I love the Distributed Data Protocol (DDP) in meteor, which makes it very easy to achieve reactiveness. Not a big fan of making hybrid app using meteor, though it can be useful in making quick prototypes.
  • Meteor
  • Blaze + React
  • Iron Router + Flow Router
  • Collection2
  • Tinytest
Currently I am learning ES2015 as from version 1.3, Meteor will add ES6(ES2015) module support.
PHP
I started my career doing professional web application development using PHP stack in late 2009. I still enjoy writing PHP specially, with all these modern frameworks - PHP is still fun to me.
  • Laravel
  • Zend (1.x + 2.x)
  • CodeIgniter
  • WordPress
  • Magento
DevOps
When it comes to DevOps I am not a system administrator but I can setup, deploy and maintain my application to any ubuntu server. I was a ubuntu geek and used ubuntu for about 6 years. I have worked with most of the renowned cloud service providers like AWS, DigitalOcean etc.
  • nginx
  • uWsgi
  • Supervisor
  • ssh
  • AWS ( EC2, S3, RDS, SQS)
  • DigitalOcean
Front End
I have mostly worked as a backend developer during my career. But I have had my share of front end development too. I am definitely not a front end expert but I definitely know as much HTML, CSS and JavaScript as, to build decent Web UIs and mobile applications.
  • JavaScript
  • ReactJS
  • AngularJS(1.x)
  • Backbonejs
  • jQuery
  • Bootstrap
  • SASS
ToolSet
I stage my local development machine on OS X, and run Linux VMs inside Vagrant. I Know git usually use Bitbucket to host my private git repositories. I use custom Fabic scripts for automated deployment. I know MySQL, PostgreSQL and NoSQLs like MongoDB as well. Have decent experience of using various cloud platforms like AWS( EC2, S3, SQS, RDS ) and DigitalOcean. I do believe in code quality and follow the best practices. I believe in TDD and try to write unit tests before starting to write business logic, if resource allows me to.

What technology I want to learn in next? top

While I am mostly focused on Python, Javascript and PHP, I love learning new technologies and adapt new tools to solve challenging problems.These are the tools I want to learn in next.

  • Natural Language Processing( NLP) using NLTK.
  • AngularJS (2.x).
  • RethinkDB
