I'm a web developer with a background in computer linguistics and machine learning.
These days I'm working on helping game devs (and others) to add some delight to their project management routines. Check out what Manu and I did on codecks here!
javascript/node
With the advent of ES6 javascript became a real nice language.
React
I started using it early 2014 and haven't looked back. The eco system has matured a lot and I find my work to be really productive with it when working on big and small projects.
webpack
It's configuration can be quite fiddly at times. But it's so so powerful for almost all aspects of frontend asset handling, it's worth it!
ruby
My go to choice for backend programming. Lot's of very robust libraries for all kinds of problems (ORM, throttling, etc...). The ecosystem starts showing it's age though and of course performance tends to be an issue...
PostgreSQL
Not much left I could wish for when it comes to data storage!
In the past I've worked with angular 1, play framework 2, scala, java, android, python, mysql and a lot of hand made libraries since I found this to be one of the better ways of learning.

Codeus 2010 - 2011
After finishing my Master's two friends and I founded codeus - a consultancy aimed to create intelligent software to Scottish businesses.
In our time in between projects, we had time to work on fun stuff like piq - a pixel art maker and community, and HellDefence a tower defence game for android.
