• Web Technologies: Strong understanding of HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and Ajax to support frontend-backend integration.
• Data Handling: Mastery of data transformation, regex, and extraction tools (OCR/Full-text scraping).
• Professional Attributes: Excellent problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and the ability to operate in a high-pressure, milestone-driven environment.
• Communication: Strong ability to collaborate within cross-functional teams and communicate complex technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders.
