• Expertise in backend frameworks (Node.js, Python, Java) and frontend frameworks (React, Angular, or Vue).

• Strong understanding of system design, distributed computing, REST APIs, message queues, and microservices architecture.

• Hands-on experience with DevOps tools and practices: CI/CD, Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform, monitoring, and logging.

• Proficiency in tools such as JIRA, Git, Jenkins, Postman, Swagger, and performance/load testing platforms.
