Backend

I prefer PHP (best with Laravel) and Python and started to learn and use Go recently.

C#/.net · APIs (REST and SOAP) · node.js

With ECMAScript 2017 and await/async JavaScript has become fun to use.

Of course I know HTML5 and CSS3. I use preprocessors and build systems, when it is appropriate.

System architecture, technical conception, documentation, testing, deployment, training, …
