Now
What I'm focused on this month — last updated .
Working on
- Enhancing next js backend services with SQL and BigQuery for efficient data processing and improved API response latency.
- Also working on bug fixes and performance optimizations for existing services, leveraging my full-stack JS/TS skills and cloud experience.
Learning
- PyTorch fundamentals — tensors, autograd, training loops, testing loops, forward and backward passes, backpropagation, optimizers, and more.
- Classification Neural Networks (CNNs) and transformer architectures for NLP tasks, setting up loss functions and optimization strategies.
- Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), Data Loaders, confusion matrices, and evaluation metrics for image classification tasks.
- Custom datasets, imagefolder structure, Data augmentation with torchvision.
- Pytorch transfer learning
- Transformer architecture, attention mechanisms, embeddings, encoders, decoders etc
- LangChain agents and tool-calling patterns
- Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipelines with vector databases like FAISS
- Also learning about prompt engineering best practices, few-shot prompting, and evaluation techniques for LLM applications.
- Continuing to deepen my understanding of cloud-native architectures, containerization with Docker, and orchestration with Kubernetes.
- Exploring Terraform for infrastructure as code and Jenkins for CI/CD automation to streamline development workflows.
- Autoscaling groups and load balancing strategies on AWS and GCP to optimize application performance and cost-efficiency.
- AWS ERC, ECS and container orchestration patterns for scalable deployments.
- Monitoring and new relic for observability and performance optimization of cloud applications.
- prometheus and grafana for monitoring and alerting in cloud environments.
- Kubernetes concepts like namespaces, deployments, services, and ingress controllers for managing containerized applications at scale.
