o Styling: Tailwind CSS, Bootstrap, or Material-UI.
2. Backend Development: Handling server-side logic and application APIs.
o Frameworks: Flask, Django, or FastAPI (popular Python frameworks for backend).
o Database Management: SQL (PostgreSQL, MySQL) or NoSQL (MongoDB, Firebase).
3. RESTful APIs and GraphQL:
o Design robust APIs to serve AI models and application logic.
o GraphQL offers flexibility in querying data.
4. DevOps and Deployment:
o Use Docker and Kubernetes for containerization.
o Cloud providers: Azure Cloud for hosting and scaling applications.
5. Security Implementation: Implement security best practices as per organization policies to protect the application from vulnerabilities, including authentication, authorization, and data encryption both at rest and transit.
6. Cross-Platform Optimization: Ability to Build the application in responsive and optimized for different devices, platforms, and browsers.
7. Debugging and support: Identify, diagnose, and fix bugs and performance issues in the application, ensuring a smooth user experience.
8. Collaboration and Stakeholder integration: Work closely with product managers, BSA, and other stakeholders like UI/UX designers, Architects to understand requirements and deliver solutions that meet business needs.
9. Learning: Stay updated with the latest technologies, frameworks, and industry trends to improve development practices continuously.

Integrating Generative AI
Generative AI adds dynamic, intelligent capabilities to web applications. Below are key considerations:
1. AI Models and Frameworks:
• Models: Use OpenAI, Hugging Face, or Meta or Google Vertex AI APIs for NLP, image generation, and other Gen AI tasks.
2. Integration:
• Build AI-driven bots with OpenAI’s GPT models or Hugging Face transformers.
• Content Generation: Use AI to generate text, images, code, or data summaries.
• Recommendation Systems: Apply AI for intelligent product or content recommendations.
• Code Suggestions: Implement AI tools to assist developers, e.g., code generation and bug fixing.
3. APIs and SDKs:
• OpenAI & Other Model API: GPT-4/5 for natural language understanding and text generation.
• LangChain: Framework for building Gen AI workflows.
• Transformers: Hugging Face library for advanced model interaction.
4. Data Handling:
• ETL Pipelines: Use Pandas, NumPy, and Azure Data Factory to preprocess training data.
• Storage: Azure Blob, Amazon S3, or Google Cloud Storage for scalable data management.
5. Frontend-AI Integration:
• Real-time AI feedback in forms or dashboards.
• WebSockets for live updates, e.g., during image generation or chatbot interactions.
