I'm skeptical of specializing in technologies. Personally I've built multimedia CD-ROMs (in proprietary language), websites, high performance C++ servers for airline industry, distributed systems in Python and a bit of Go, and now I'm doing scientific computing. If back in the '90s I'd decided I was a multimedia specialist when multimedia was the Next Big Thing... I wouldn't have gotten anywhere because it was killed by the web soon after. By all means become an expert in technologies that interest you, or that seem lucrative, or have a lot of impact that you care about. But specialization is in the end a marketing approach, it shouldn't define who you are.
