A specialist is someone with a focused knowledge in a domain. The level of the knowledge is not mentioned usually...and so nobody can challenge the specialist status....so it's mostly on you to call yourself a specialist.
So if you know something just a bit better than something else, can you say that you are a specialist?
Let's say I am a Java specialist/expert...is this enough for me to design and write a network application...and deploy it? ... Or do I need some knowledge about deployment and network architectures?
...or if I am Spring specialist/expert than is that enough to know how to deploy my microservice to a Docker container? Or should I know how to write Docker files...and use Jenkins to build the image for me....
You can be a specialist in a technology...framework...whatever...but you also need to know tons of other things too...to live in this IT world.
...but if you know so many things...than there is little chance to be specialist/expert in all of them...right?...unless you are Tony Stark.
...than can you look in the mirror ...in the morning...and call yourself a specialist/expert/senior developer? ... than why the titles in the email signature?
