Experience with relational and NoSQL databases, query optimization, caching, asynchronous processing, and application scalability patterns.

Strong engineering fundamentals, including secure coding practices, access control models, automated testing, observability, and troubleshooting across application, API, data, and cloud layers.

Ability to evaluate technical trade-offs, contribute to architecture and design discussions, and communicate complex solutions to engineering, security, platform, and business stakeholders.
