#33Right now, I am primarily a front end web developer.
I always have a lot of different projects running around in my head. I have two big ones right now. The first is a React Native app integrating with a Buddypress site. The second that I am working on is a plugin that integrates a popular API with Buddypress that I am going to post on CodeCanyon.

#34I'm a product manager. Side project is building a genome data ingestion pipeline with my dad. We're both really passionate about giving people a faster and cheaper solution to processing genome data. Current project is to allow researchers to send fully sequenced genomes to our server, align the sequenced genome to a referenced genome, then store the data in a performant way that can be queried against. Right now, it…
Out of curiosity, what genome assembler are you using for your project? (I'm having to build a genome assembly pipeline with a reference assembly as well for a bioinformatics class I'm auditing at a local college, not a professional in this field either). The papers I am reading and trying to replicate uses SMALT.

#35I'm an OS/embedded programmer contracting to companies across the USA. Currently porting android to a panel controller for some industrial equipment (I honestly don't know what; it hardly matters).
My side projects are gaming-related.

#36Great question. I'm excited to see the other responses.
I'm a visiting scientist at a nuclear physics institute, but my degree was in mechanical engineering. Currently working on creating highly charged isotopes to be used for cancer research.
Last year I built a single seat off-roading buggy with some friends, which was a really rewarding, and fun project.
Current side project is learning to work with some RPI's to make a mesh network that I could use for my sound system. Also, since we can't be on computers all of the time, learning to play guitar and training for a triathlon.

What stack do you use for your projects?
It varies a bit from project to project, but I usually start with a custom PHP MVC framework: GluePHP for routing, Savant3 for templates, and PHP-ActiveRecord as an ORM. I'm definitely someone who prefers to work with small, understandable modules with very limited scopes/responsibilities.
I've recently considered polishing up the most-used bits and packaging it as a proper framework, but I probably need a kick in the ass (or even just a hint of interest) to do so. :)
Artpacks.org strays from the framework a bit by using Backbone.js for the front-end. So does the game that I'm working on.

Do you have a picture of the buggy you built? Spending a lot of time in front of a computer makes me want to build physical things. I have no experience welding, and I'm always impressed with what people can build out of metal.
