I first used MongoDB back in it's extreme early days. Before moving to Stackoverflow (where I ascertained the gold badge for the MongoDB tag) I was one of the main contributors to the mongodb-user Google group and I still hold even now one of the highest rated post statistics. I have seen MongoDB grow from version 0.8 all the way to version 3.1 and beyond.

PHP was the first web based language I came to use. I coded my final year project in it. Since then I went into a job which requires expert knowledge in PHP and have been working in that job for about 5 years now. I have coded 90% of my projects in PHP.

As a duty of my day-to-day I have had to keep an extensive and comprehensive knowledge base on the subject of CSS. I have knowledge in Bootstrap 2 & 3 and some knowledge in Foundation. I also have extensive knowledge of how to use CSS with JS correctly to produce pixel perfect resizing of layout elements for desktop and mobile platforms.

I have always used HTML. It has been a constant and continual part of my developer life. As such it is no surprise to hear that I have become something of an expert in forming HTML documents. I can work in HTML1-5 and CSS2-3+.

I first started to use jQuery soon after taking an interest in web development. I went looking for something that made my life easier and there it was. That was about 8 years ago and since then I have grown to use jQuery all the time, for every project. In that time I have produced numerous plugins and used even more, I have also ascertained extensive knowledge in jQuery UI. I have not specifically used jQuery mobile as of yet however, I am always ready to try it out.

I use JS for everything on the web. First, I used standard ECMA script but then I decided to couple it with a library, this is when I met jQuery. Since then I have gone form leaps and bounds to using many tools in JS. I have even taken my programming behind the HTML page with node.js. There are a number of tools I have not yet got round to using, such as Angular and sails.js but I have a great desire to use them.

From my time using numerous technologies which implement the SQL standard, from MySQL to Oracle and even PostgreSQL I have ascertained an advanced knowledge in the inner workings of SQL and now there are very few queries which allude me and those which do I can quickly ascertain the knowledge of how to perform.
