CAPABILITIES

What I can build, and the proof

Not a tech-stack list — the problems I can solve, each tagged by maturity and linked to evidence you can open: a project, a live feature, writing, or the repo.

MATURITY
Proven in productionBuilt on this siteExploring
FOUNDATION

Full-Stack & DevOps, end to end

The broad, proven base: I design, build, ship, and operate production systems across the frontend, backend, data, and cloud.

06
Proven in production

Software Architecture

I choose the architecture the problem needs — from a modular monolith to event-driven microservices — and keep the dependency direction honest.

  • Modular Monolith
  • Microservices
  • Event-Driven Architecture
  • Clean Architecture
  • Domain-Driven Design
  • CQRS
  • Vertical Slice
PROOF
  • IdentityHub — bounded contexts + Saga
  • ReserveX — Clean Architecture + CQRS
  • Writing on architecture
Built on this site

Frontend / Web Engineering

This very site is the proof: Next.js App Router with Server Components, bilingual routing, motion, and a Lighthouse-first budget.

  • Next.js App Router
  • React Server Components
  • SSR / ISR
  • TypeScript
  • Tailwind / Design Systems
  • i18n (EN/VI)
  • Core Web Vitals / SEO
  • Accessibility
PROOF
  • dtducas.com — case study
  • github.com/DTDucas
Built on this site

Database Engineering

Polyglot persistence done deliberately: Postgres for the relational core, Mongo for documents/events, Redis for nonce/rate-limit — plus full-text search on Postgres.

  • PostgreSQL
  • MongoDB
  • Redis
  • SQL Server
  • Schema Design
  • Indexing
  • Query Optimization
  • Full-Text Search (tsvector/GIN)
PROOF
  • Polyglot persistence — dtducas.com case study
  • Knowlex — hybrid retrieval + Weaviate
  • Writing on databases
Proven in production

Cloud & Infrastructure

I run real workloads on AWS (ECS, S3, RDS, Aurora, CloudWatch) and ship this stack across Vercel, Render, Neon and Upstash — containerised and reverse-proxied.

  • AWS (ECS/S3/RDS/Aurora/CloudWatch)
  • Docker
  • Nginx / Reverse Proxy
  • Load Balancing
  • CDN
  • Object Storage
  • Infrastructure as Code
PROOF
  • dtducas.com — Docker + deploy topology
  • Production experience
Proven in production

DevOps & CI/CD

Every push runs the gates: lint, typecheck, test, build, then container build and deploy. Pipelines are documented, not improvised.

  • GitHub Actions
  • GitLab CI
  • Azure DevOps
  • Docker Build Pipelines
  • Deployment Automation
  • Monitoring & Alerting
  • Log Aggregation
PROOF
  • Delivery pipeline — dtducas.com case study
  • dtducas.com — CI/CD gates
Built on this site

Production Readiness

Shipping is the start, not the finish. Health probes, structured logs, rate limiting, audit trails and a scaling story — built in, not bolted on.

  • Monitoring
  • Logging
  • Tracing
  • Backup & Disaster Recovery
  • Rate Limiting
  • High Availability
  • Scalability
  • Health Probes
PROOF
  • Observability & ops — dtducas.com case study
  • dtducas.com — reliability story
SIGNATURE DEPTH

Where I go deeper than most

Two differentiators with real proof: an encrypted-auth security stack running live on this site, and production BIM automation for the construction industry.

02
Built on this site

★Security Engineering

The crown jewel runs live on this site: an encrypted request/response handshake (ECDH → HKDF → AES-256-GCM) with forward secrecy and replay protection, on top of Argon2id, rotating refresh tokens with reuse-detection, and TOTP MFA.

  • Authentication
  • Authorization (RBAC/ABAC)
  • JWT
  • OAuth2 / OpenID Connect
  • OWASP Top 10
  • Secret Management
  • API Security
  • Encryption (ECDH/HKDF/AES-GCM)
PROOF
  • The encrypted handshake — dtducas.com case study
  • Try the encrypted sign-in (live)
  • Writing on security
Proven in production

★BIM & AEC Technology

My distinctive edge: production BIM automation across Revit, Etabs and Tekla — a tool ecosystem with 150+ tools and 30,000+ uses, plus an open-source Revit MCP SDK.

  • Revit API
  • APS (Autodesk Platform Services)
  • BIM Automation
  • Construction Technology
  • Digital Twin
  • BIM Data Pipelines
PROOF
  • RevitMCPSDK — MCP for Revit
  • CHM Converter — Revit docs → AI
  • github.com/DTDucas/RevitMCPSDK
SPECIALISED

The parts most full-stack engineers skip

Data pipelines, system integration, automation, and the engineering discipline that keeps it all maintainable.

04
Proven in production

Data Engineering

I build the pipelines most full-stack engineers skip: AI-powered ETL over construction drawings, async crawlers, and document processing that survives 6,000-page inputs.

  • ETL
  • Data Pipelines
  • Web Crawling (Crawl4AI)
  • Data Warehouse / Lake
  • Data Processing
  • Data Validation
PROOF
  • Knowlex — ingest → chunk → embed pipeline
  • CHM Converter — async batched pipeline
  • ETL in production
Proven in production

Enterprise Integration

Systems rarely live alone. I connect them with REST, webhooks, message queues and event buses — and a JSON-RPC contract between Revit and external apps.

  • REST API
  • GraphQL
  • Webhooks
  • Message Queue
  • Event Bus
  • Third-party Integration
PROOF
  • RevitMCPSDK — JSON-RPC 2.0 contract
  • IdentityHub — Kafka events + Outbox
Proven in production

Automation Engineering

Repetitive work is a bug. I automate engineering workflows, approval processes and desktop/CAD tasks — data-driven, not hard-coded.

  • Workflow Automation
  • Process Automation
  • AI Workflow
  • Browser Automation
  • Desktop Automation
PROOF
  • RevitMCPSDK — Revit automation
  • FlowCore — data-driven workflow engine
Built on this site

Engineering Practices

How I work shows in this repo: SOLID, design patterns, tested code, ADRs for every non-trivial decision, and conventional commits behind the gates.

  • SOLID
  • Design Patterns
  • Unit Testing
  • Integration Testing
  • Code Review
  • Technical Documentation (ADRs)
PROOF
  • Decision records — dtducas.com case study
  • ReserveX — SOLID + tested
  • github.com/DTDucas
EXPLORING

Learning in the open

An honest in-progress area — building real RAG and agent systems, not claiming mastery.

01
Exploring

AI Engineering

An honest in-progress area. I'm building real RAG and agent systems — hybrid retrieval, MCP tooling, embeddings — in Knowlex and the Revit MCP SDK, and learning in the open.

  • RAG
  • AI Agents
  • Multi-Agent Systems
  • MCP (Model Context Protocol)
  • Semantic Chunking
  • Embeddings / Vector DB
  • Prompt Engineering
  • Tool Calling
PROOF
  • Knowlex — RAG pipeline + agent
  • RevitMCPSDK — MCP server

Tell me about your project and I'll advise on the fit, scope, and approach — architecture, APIs, data pipelines, cloud, and CI/CD — and the right level of automation for your goals, technical constraints, and timeline.

Let's build something reliable, end to end
