Mastery
The Anchor
Exceptional command of Python ecosystem. Capable of architecting complex, asynchronous backend systems immediately.
Proficient
The Edge
Strong grasp of RAG patterns. Can implement advanced retrieval strategies to enhance LLM context windows.
Critical Gap
The Risk
Lacks awareness of operational compliance (PII/Security). Requires mandatory guardrails before production access.

Assessment Rubric
Evaluation against AIXL Academy standards
| Category | Criteria | Score | Observation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Code Quality | Writes clean, maintainable, and documented code | 5/5 | Exceptional code structure and type hinting usage. |
| AI Integration | Effectively integrates LLMs into applications | 4/5 | Good understanding of RAG, but needs more focus on eval. |
| System Design | Designs scalable and resilient systems | 3/5 | Strong on logic, weak on cloud-native patterns. |
| Compliance | Adheres to security and privacy standards | 2/5 | Lacks awareness of PII handling in AI contexts. |
