My newest passion is SQL. I just love this language. I have written 1000+ queries and have made a dozen table schemas in amazon redshift. Some of my queries span more than 20+ joins. I am well aware of the Normalization rules and I practice them at my workplace. Check out my profile at https://www.codewars.com/users/kamalptw to get a feel of the difficulty of problems I have solved in SQL.

I have been practising HTML/CSS since grade school. Although I cannot boast of being a full fledged web developer I am well aware of the DOM, and use CSS selectors extensively due to my web scraping background. I also have experience making stand alone Landing Pages.

I have experience in web scraping using python. I have also helped develop bots. I have made simple GUI projects using python's tkinter module

I have used Selenium Webdriver in a few java projects.
