I use whatever is needed to get the job done. Though the right tool can make things easier and in my experience these are the ones that have helped me.
My front end framework of choice is React.js. I Like to connect that to a backend using Node.js and the Nest.js framework using Express.js. All of these in TypeScript for the type safety is a must. And then Prisma as ORM and migration tool is also very helpful to connect the backend to a database instance.
I plan on soon learning Tailwind CSS to round out my front end knowledge. I will put the majority of my attention into the backend however, where I want to use Next.js in my next project to facilitate server-side rendering. I have so far worked on projects that have rolled their own auth but I want to and will look into Auth.js.
For infrastructure, I am very comfortable with AWS services like S3, EC2, Redshift, SQS, Lambda, and a few more. These are my go-to tools when it comes to designing infrastructure and focusing on scale. To build and deploy that infrastructure I have gained experience in Gitlab CI/CD patterns and Kubernetes containers built with Docker.
When scripting is required my language of choice is Python which I know very well including its more data-science oriented libraries such as NumPy and some light TensorFlow.
I plan on soon exploring the space of solutions for observability and log monitoring like Axiom. Though I do have experience in ETL, I also want to explore methods of making more robust pipelines like AWS Step Functions.
