Strong API design, integration and security experience, including RESTful APIs.
Deep understanding of asynchronous programming, promises, async/await and event-driven development.
Experience with NoSQL database design.
Proficiency with Git, collaborative development workflows, unit testing and integration testing.
Experience using AI-assisted development tools, including GitHub Copilot and Claude Code, to improve development efficiency and build reusable capabilities.
Strong analytical, problem-solving and communication skills.
