PHP

  I have enough working knowledge to get around PHP. I started my work with PHP with phpBB and Wordpress. I used to run a phpBB board and had created a custom phpBB theme. I also used to run WP/CMS sites. Currently, I am working on a project which requires knowledge of core PHP.

Currently, as a consultant involved in a PHP project, my job is to integrate different systems. The work includes migrations and wiring up APIs. So, I have worked with APIs from  - Ubersmith  - WHMCS  - Salesforce  - Sage Intacct  - OneLogin.

Databases

I have working knowledge of databases, and I have worked with

Android

I have a fair knowledge of Android. However, most of my professional work with Android is in CrossPlatform App development with either Ionic or React Native. I am adept with the Android Studio IDE and the deployment stages involved. I have worked with Firebase, Push Notifications (GMS | GCM | FCM | OneSignal), Google Maps, SafetyNet | PlayIntegrity, Sqlite.

Servers | Operating systems | Shell

I usually work with Debian| Ubuntu-based servers and know them well. I have deployed NodeJs, Python, and PHP projects from a VPS(Linode, DigitalOcean, Vultr, AWS). I have fair understanding of Docker. I have a decent knowledge of bash and batch scripts and can customize basic server tasks from scripts. I am yet to try my hand at Kotlin-based apps.

Java

My working knowledge of Java is not as extensive as PHP or Python. I have made desktop apps with Swing way back (2014 ish). And my cordova plugins use Java code. I use some Java-based applications.

Ruby | C | C# | Objective C  

Ruby was one of the first languages I learned. But I have rarely used it except Cocoapods when I am deploying apps on iOS or Sass because one project required me to compile Sass.  I have passable knowledge of C#, primarily due to my work with Xamarin, which is now MAUI. I am well versed with XCode and have a passable knowledge of Objective C . Enough to debug, fix and deploy applications for iOS.
