To build applications, I use:
- Ruby and Sinatra or the Ruby-on-Rails framework
- JavaScript (often with React + Redux)
- Relational database systems like MySQL & PostgreSQL
- AWS: EC2, ECR, RDS, Elasticsearch, Lambda
- Terraform for infrastructure management
- HTML5 and CSS3/Sass
- Git for source code management and version control
- People skills, because collaborative work is the best work
In my free time, I study:
- Computer science & software engineering, of course
- Mathematics, for deeper understanding
- French language, just for fun
