• Solid understanding of SQL Server and MySQL (writing queries).
• Familiarity with MS Azure or similar cloud platforms.
• Strong communication skills with the ability to effectively collaborate with team members and stakeholders.
• A problem-solver who enjoys analyzing issues, estimating impact, and finding practical solutions.
