Everything imaginable over the years, from device drivers to web apps to enterprise apps to desktop apps to GUI-driven apps to middleware to back-end components to Android mobile apps.  FORTRAN, assembler, C, C++, SQL, Java and others for programming languages, plus a fair amount of things like shell, Perl, Javascript and such for scripting.  (I forbear to mention JCL.)  Mainframes, minicomputers, PCs, mobile, embedded.  Big shops, solo programmer, government agencies, private businesses.
