I've been involved in javascript since libraries like YUI and Prototype first started. Professionally I've working in JS for 10 years. Being a CS major in college there is a lot about JavaScript that appeals to me, so I've always stayed in the know.

HTML... what would we do with out it? I've been working with HTML since as early as I can remember.

I've been working with PHP and php libraries for a long time. It was the first and primary server side language I worked with for many years. I have used PHP for many different applications for many different uses. I can also help out a lot with composer dependancies including overriding dependancies with your own forks.

I've been working off and on with Node.js for a while now. Professionally I have only used it about 6 years. I have used it for entire applications, and also for local development servers and build automation scripts. I know how to work with grunt, gulp or just plain webpack and babel. I have written Restful apps with Express also. I know how to wrap other shell processes and handle I/O.

I had been using YUI until I finally made the switch to jQuery. Of late I have primarily used angular and even more recently, ReactJs. However I was a real jQuery pro. Two jobs ago I was hired because of a jQuery plugin I wrote (privately for the company or I'd share). jQuery was my real bread and butter.

I've chosen MySQL for nearly every project as my go-to database. Of late I've worked with Postgresql and Mongo, but I wouldn't qualify my skill with either of them as mentor worthy. I've used MySQL as long as I've worked with PHP professionally. I've done analytics applications and simple transactional data handling. I know how to help people guard against injections and improper validation as well. I know the mechanics of MySQL and when to limit, when to index etc.

Haven't become seasoned yet at Git, but have worked with it more than most. I've used GUI's and also just the command line. I've set up webhooks and other deployment and CI tasks. I know how to instruct people with branching and merging and resolving conflicts. I can help people decide on a branching scheme and release. I can help people use software like github or bitbucket also, or setup a hosted git repo. I can instruct how to do pull requests or forking also.
