• Data fluency, across both relational and non-relational databases.
• Architectural strength, including design patterns, scalability, and maintainability.
• DevOps mindset, with experience in CI / CD pipelines and modern delivery practices.

• A people-first attitude, with genuine passion for coaching, feedback, and team growth.
