Over the last few years, I've built lots of web apps in with different frameworks. I've come to appreciate Django the most! It's opinionated (specifically with MVC) which provides structure and just the right amount of magic. Lately, I use Django almost entirely. I've worked with every aspect of Django: models, views, customizing the ORM, middleware, forms, etc.

I've worked with lots of different client and user requirements for working with data: pipelines, cleaning, normalizing, etc. SQL is often considered less expressive than tools like Pandas, but when tuned correctly, SQL is by far much faster. And coupled with an ORM, can be amazingly fun to use and query. Lately, I've been working on building business intelligences tools and optimizing queries for them, as well as for dashboards.
