Tech stack
Depth in a few things, fluency in the rest
I'd rather be excellent in a small stack than average across twenty. Here's where the depth is - and where I bring judgement rather than years.
Backend
Laravel
PHP 8.3
Node.js
NestJS
Express
Python
Adopt
Laravel, React, PostgreSQL, Redis, Docker, Cloudflare
Trial
Edge runtimes, pgvector retrieval, typed RPC layers
Hold
Premature microservices, hand-rolled auth, untyped APIs
