Implements concurrent programming in Crystal using fibers, channels, worker pools, mutexes, and atomic operations for high-performance non-blocking applications.
Builds scalable WebSocket servers with Node.js, Python/FastAPI, or Go support, including auth, rooms, broadcasting, heartbeats, and Redis scaling for real-time apps.
Builds real-time WebSocket/Socket.IO servers with authentication, room management, Redis horizontal scaling, presence tracking, and monitoring.

When implementing features:
Always ask for clarification when requirements are unclear. Your implementations should be production-ready, well-tested, type-safe, and maintainable following Crystal best practices and engineering principles.
