Although I haven’t worked with CSS frameworks or preprocessors, my understanding of HTML and CSS allows me to enhance basic web presentations and structure.

I have experience with PHP, typically using it for web-based projects that require backend logic. While PHP is not my primary language, I can create and modify PHP scripts to handle server-side functionality, making it a useful tool in my web development toolkit.

My experience with JavaScript is focused on enhancing small websites, using it primarily to add basic functionality. I mainly work with vanilla JavaScript and have dabbled in jQuery, but have limited experience with advanced frameworks. My JavaScript knowledge is mostly applied to frontend development, improving the user experience on small web projects.

With a beginner to intermediate proficiency in Java, my experience includes developing Minecraft server add-ons, where I’ve worked within the Minecraft modding community. My knowledge of Java allows me to build customizations and functionality for Minecraft, making it adaptable to server needs. While I haven’t worked with broader Java frameworks, my experience shows my ability to use Java in gaming and customization projects.

I am proficient in Python, having used it extensively for scripting and developing small applications using Tkinter. My Python skills were honed through coursework, where I became proficient in writing, reading, and modifying code to automate tasks and create GUI applications. Although I haven’t worked with additional frameworks, I can confidently tackle Python-based projects and solve problems through custom scripts and small desktop applications.

I have beginner to intermediate skills in Lua, primarily using it for game development within Tabletop Simulator and other games like Elder Scrolls Online. A notable project includes a custom Five Hundred card game for Tabletop Simulator, where I implemented an Auto-play function.
