Rust/Go/Python: Consider myself proficient in listed languages, having implemented libraries, backend systems and personal projects in them.
Cryptography: Programmable cryptography is going to change the web.
Web services: Have created production-ready web services at scale for organisations as well as startups. I have experience in designing and implementing monoliths and mini-services, multiple database systems in different domains.

Traits
Polyglot: Like agents, see every tech as a tool, or as a means to an end. Can work on backend, infra, research, product, customers, analytics. Like to work across disciplines, and not identify myself as just a “programmer”.
Implement: Have implemented data structures, advanced algorithms, cryptography, mathematical libraries for production workloads.
Research: Tackling uncertainties with a research mindset has helped me solve problems effectively. Combining academic and market research uncover many unknowns, and leads to push for novelty.
Open Source: Strong believer of open source, open learning. It’s the single biggest collaborative force humanity has created that transcends any boundaries.
HPC: Something that I don’t know much but hope to learn. CPU (extremely parallel, SIMD), GPU architecture
