What I'm Exploring

An honest look at what I'm learning, experimenting with, and evaluating. Exploration depth and production confidence replace skill bars — because learning is a spectrum, not a percentage.

Go for Microservices

Exploring

Deepening Go skills for building high-performance microservices. Already used it for ShopSwift backend and exploring concurrency patterns with goroutines and channels.

💡 Go's simplicity forces you to think about the problem, not the language

LLM Agent Architectures

Exploring

Building multi-agent systems with tool use and memory. Built Genesis AI SaaS with OpenAI — now exploring ReAct patterns and chain-of-thought for more complex tasks.

💡 ReAct pattern significantly outperforms vanilla prompting for multi-step tasks

Container Orchestration & K8s

Learning

Comfortable with Docker for local dev and CI. Now learning Kubernetes for production-grade orchestration — deployments, services, configMaps, and horizontal pod autoscaling.

💡 The gap between textbook and production is where the real learning happens

Stripe & Payment Infrastructure

Experiment

Integrated Stripe for Genesis AI. Now exploring subscription lifecycle edge cases — proration, dunning, and webhook idempotency patterns.
