Bennett Garner, Web Developer
I'm a web developer with a focus on back-end development using Python (Flask, Django) or JavaScript (NodeJS, Express).
I've worked extensively with relational databases (PostgreSQL and MySQL), and I'm also familiar with non-relational databases like MongoDB.
For deployment, I prefer Google Cloud.
