Along the way, I have picked up skills in C, C#, C++, COBOL, CSS, Haskell, HTML, Java, JavaScript, OCaml, Prolog, Python, Rust, and SCSS. I am also very familiar with data structures, debugging, hardware, networking, and web development & hosting. Tools like the Bash Unix Shell, Eclipse, Git, GitHub, O365, VSCode, and the Windows Terminal have become commonplace in daily life at U.A.B.
