- Deep knowledge of structured databases, backend architecture, and data modeling.
- Extensive experience with secure API design and authentication/authorization methods.

- Curious, self-driven, and proactive attitude — beyond merely completing assigned tasks.
- Passion for learning new technologies, experimenting, and refining workflows.
- Strong communication skills and team collaboration abilities.
