Python is my original programming language, I know it in complete depth and have worked with a wide range of libraries, enviroments, and tools. It's my go to when I need to make something quick and cheap.

I've used Python to build web applications, desktop apps, APIs, libraries, video encoders, plugins, build scripts, video renderers, file parsers, programming languages, and compilers.

TypeScript is my favourite language to work in, especially leveraging the type system. I find designing my programs around those types and how they mutate as a very powerful mechanism.

Previously Python used to my main language, but in recent years its now TypeScript. I've also developed quite a number of libraries in it over the years, which I've incredibly useful to use myself.

Lua is a language I've only really used for game modding, mostly with computer craft. Although I don't really like it, I can use it to make what I need it for.

I find it's imcompatibility with JSON, it's cumbersome lambda syntax, and it's verbose syntax difficult to work with.

My experience in Rust is quite limited. I've worked on standalone CLIs as well as Python libraries. I'm quite confident in working in it when I need it, however I've not had many projects I've been able to use it on.

I think my future work in Rust is mostly going to revolve around using it for high performance libraries for Python and WASM.

I've been working in web development for about 5 years ago, starting off in Python Flask before moving to Javascript Frameworks. I've tried quite a few: React, Next.JS, Svelte, Preact, Solid.js, Astro. The thing I've currently settled on is using Solid.js for client side stuff and Astro for backend.

I find having a seperate language for server stuff really helps keep things seperate and let you know what are included in the client. Also Solid.js is hyper performant by making use of signals and has a very familiar API to React. I find it to be the best framework out there right now.

When I was on my Uni Course I got introduced to Figma and have fallen in love with design. I love the subtle choies you have to make as well.

The obligatory "I have used development tools before section", I've got experience with a wide range of development tools.

I'm fine using git, as you can see from my Github, I have been using it for quite a while and know how to use different features like tags, commit actions, merge beahaviours.

I'm familiar with using container toolkits like Docker/Docker Compose, they're quite useful for deployment setups especially with databases or external programs. Although I haven't used their advanced features, I have made my own containers for different projects.

I've used different cloud services before like AWS and Google Cloud, as well as different deploment platforms such as Vercel and Cloudflare. I've worked in worker enviroments like Google Cloud Functions and Cloudflare Pages.
