Database Management & Performance Optimization
Proficiency with PostgreSQL, Redis, MongoDB, MySQL, DynamoDB, and pgvector. Reduction of admin panel response times by 77% through Redis caching and database index tuning.

Machine Learning & AI Integration
Application of TensorFlow Lite, scikit-learn, multilingual embeddings, and Gemini for recommendation systems, edge sensor autoencoders, and RAG engines with tenant-scoped retrieval.

WebRTC & Real-Time Communication
Development of a WebRTC SDK for customer voice, chat, and video interactions, packaged and published as npm modules with frontend and third-party API integrations.

Frontend & Admin Interface Development
Enhancement of Angular admin interfaces and dynamic survey forms in vanilla JavaScript, supporting multiple question types and backend integration including SQL analytics and customer dashboards.

Programming Languages
Proficiency in Python, Java, JavaScript, TypeScript, SQL, C++, and C#, applied across backend services, data pipelines, and frontend integrations.

Asynchronous Processing & Messaging
