If you're looking for back-end developer who's happy to work in multiple languages, please check out my resume (PDF) and give me a call.
If you'd like to see an example of a project that displays how I think code should be organized and tested, check out Oho.
Some of these projects are significant works. Some are random hacks. Some grew from simple hacks without concern for maintainability. Some I wrote. Some I just maintain. I'm happy to answer questions about any of them.

gpup = Git Push UP
a convenience + safety utility for git that guarantees you'll never
accidentally overwrite other people's data with a remote push, even when
you use force.
A Heatmap generation tool & library
As a command-line tool Heatmapper takes
a list of integers and generates a heatmap

Prettier::Table is a Raku Library to provide customizable, tables for terminal and Markdown output. Supports sorting, and alignment.
Allows you to leave comments on a codebase, that aren't in the codebase, and are tied to the current version of the code.
Colorizes paretheses, curly brackets, square brackets, and angle brackets in Vim to make it easy to tell which ending braces correspond to which starting braces.
Simplifies an URl's content by running it through the Readability algorithm, and then optionally convertinng it to Markdown.
RSpec's output is noisy, and hard to read. rtest fixes that, allows you to see the failures from the past run without rerunning it, and allows you to easily run a specific failure's corresponding test.
An Object Relational Model (ORM) that builds on the Granite ORM with many additional relationship types.
NOTE: this was written in 2018, and the repo it forked from has come a long way since then, but it is still in use by some of my tools, and offers features its parent still doesn't.
A command line options parser that provides sentence-like human interfaces to your Crystal cli apps.
A Progressing Web App (PWA) dice roller for Spiral Dice. Implements full accessibility features to enable dice rolling for blind users. It's PWA nature means you can install it on your phone's home screen.
