I enjoy Python and its the first programming language that I've worked with. I really love its syntax and it has a great package ecosystem, there are plenty of really good libraries that expose really advanced functionality. I've been working with projects across its two main sources of popularity, backend language with Django and Analytics / Machine Learning / Deep Learning with Pandas and Scikit-Learn. The common design is a Django powered backend and heavy lifting computations and evaluations of models with Pandas and Scikit-Learn. Also, I have experience with Python as a simple yet powerful scripting language, as a replacement of shell scripting whenever possible

The most relevant experience that I can account for with Java is real time applications in Kafka. These applications take into account most of Kafka features such as order per partition in a given topic, as well as other architecture implications as multiple threads and even multiple JVM synchronization. I really like object oriented programming and thinking in objects and its dependencies feels really natural when its comes to writing code in Java. Also, I'm an advocate of strong principles in design of the code such as encapsulation and open-close principle, as well as testability in the form of both unit tests (Mockito and explicit dependency injection) and functional tests (Cucumber and Gherkin)

My front-end experience comes with React and Redux. I did some things, even I have a simple web app project with packaging and all bellts and whistles, you can check it at :https://github.com/LavinJ/django-react-dockerized

A world without Docker is a worse world. Whenever I need to test some techonolgy or launch some functional tests or just get hands-on experiene, I spin a docker container. I know how to build images Docker, how to build larger system with Compose and enjoy the automation via this god-send techonology that hopefully will never leave us (or be replaced with something even better :))
