• Deep, hands-on experience in both frontend and backend development, with mastery of Python and modern enterprise-grade languages.
• Expert knowledge of vector databases (Pinecone, Weaviate, Milvus) and the programming principles required to scale them.
• High proficiency in Kubernetes, Docker, and modern CI/CD patterns to ensure AI agents are production-ready.
• Expert in version control (GitHub), Test-Driven Development (TDD), and automated testing specifically tailored for AI outputs.

Preferred Skills
