LLM Integration (OpenAI / Anthropic / Open Source)
Integrate GPT-4o, Claude, and open-source models
Build prompt chains, structured outputs, and evaluation systems
Develop RAG pipelines using pgvector / Pinecone / Weaviate
Experiment with agent-based workflows and function calling
Data & API Systems
Build ETL pipelines for AI data processing
Connect APIs (Next.js frontend, PostgreSQL, Redis, WebSockets)
Monitor system health (latency, tokens, errors, cost usage)
Ensure reliability across data and AI pipelines
Infrastructure & Deployment
