    We're a consulting firm offering custom software & design solutions. Though we primarily develop on the Microsoft stack (IIS, .net, C#, SQL Server), we are technology agnostic. If a client needs an app that can play nicely with their pre-existing corporate infrastructure, so be it. If a Wordpress site would fit the bill, we'll roll out a custom theme. Our goal is to solve problems, not dogmatically dictate platforms. I've worked projects that have run the gamut from everything listed above to Classic ASP, Windows Forms, Silverlight, Python, & Node. Most of the applications are web-driven, so I'm steeped in HTML, CSS, & JS as well. I get to play in Adobe Creative Suite for the sake of bringing comps to life (plenty of experience with Photoshop, a little less so with Illustrator, Acrobat, & Flash). As more and more work is driven to support (if not target) mobile, it's been exciting to tinker with emergent (and established) client-side libraries like jQuery, backbone.js, require.js, & knockout.js and to explore the fringes of HTML5 & CSS3. This isn't an exhaustive list of technologies I've used- just a good survey of the variety with which we work. I especially appreciate that we don't leverage these solutions for academic purposes or to namedrop hot lingo; we use them to solve real problems.
