Shai Shillo | Full-Stack Software Engineer & AI Backend Specialist

01. About Me

I’m a software engineer who thrives at the intersection of complex data and scalable infrastructure. With a background in building AI extraction backends and real-time interactive systems, I love solving hard problems—whether that’s optimizing a PostGIS query or architecting a microservices mesh on GCP.

Beyond the terminal, I’m passionate about sharing knowledge. Having mentored students at H.I.T., I believe that clear communication is just as important as clean code. I build systems that are robust, efficient, and ready for the real world.

Here are a few technologies I've been working with recently:

Python (FastAPI)
Node.js
React
Docker & Kubernetes
PostgreSQL (PostGIS)
GCP
