Taught myself HTML in the 90s, and JavaScript in 2000 to make a webpage as a birthday present for a relative. Been making web applications ever since and taught myself React in 2017 while building a marketplace for a relative. Replaced my [company's] website from vanilla javascript to React. Have done several projects with React since, and wouldn't recommend anything else. No experience with Redux, though.

Wrapped 3 webapps with cordova since 2016. The Android 5+ version of each app is currently 1MB. Android 4.0-4.4 versions include chromium 53 from 2017. Developed an ionic4+capacitor+react app in 2020. All apps are fully served from the webapp over https. Updates can be done to the webapp without pushing a new version through the stores.

Was introduced to Django in 2008 as part of the computing students' club. These days I don't really use the templates and make heavy use of the ORM and rest framework.
