Skills

My technical skills are built on a deep foundation in Python and backend architecture. Below is a breakdown of my core expertise and the broader range of technologies and tools I use.

🎯 Core Expertise

These are the technologies and paradigms I live and breathe. I have led teams, designed architecture, and built production systems with this stack.

I essentially operate in god-mode with this stack.

  • Languages & Core Frameworks: Python, Django, FastAPI
  • Primary Databases: PostgreSQL, Redis
  • Key Architectural Patterns: REST APIs, Microservices, Asynchronous Processing (Celery)
  • Specialized Domains:
    • LLMs & NLP: Production-grade LLM integration (OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.), applied NLP with tools like SpaCy
    • Web3 / DLTs: Smart Contract interaction, DLT-based systems architecture
    • eHealth / FHIR: Fast Healthcare Interoperable Resources
