Back end and data science modules for a startup, small scale web projects, different data science projects. Rediscovered Python some years before while evaluating my career prospects and pivoting towards Data Science and Data Engineering. What I understood looking at the available options was that Python, Java, and Scala (incl. others such as Go to some extent) were languages with which you could do “everything” from web scrapping or system tasks, up to data science and visualizations, without mentioning web develoment. Python is the only scripting one so decided to double down on it and since then most of my projects are either Python projects or have a strong Python element.

My RDBMS of choice almost before it was cool :) Still like it for the same reason as when I encountered it: one stop shop for documentation which is great, focus on stability vs features, and a library for most if not all mainstream programming languages. Mostly though ANSI compliance and the ability to write database functions if need to. Did I mention the “modern SQL” capabilities? Mostly as a developer than admin have managed systems/applications that rely on PostgreSQL on and off for many years.

Have been the "lean" person on many projects. Able to understand different requirements and strip them down to MVP/MDP, creating time plans and execution estimates for these, and then start implementing them, in order to test the idea with its target audience and start gathering feedback as fast as possible or at least not late. Have seen many projects dying and organisations suffering because of not being lean or trying to impose a waterfall approach (which has its merits and applications) to areas that it is not applicable. Very recently in a place I used to work people were saying: “if you have an idea to build something, buy Dimitry a coffee”.
