Troubleshoot, debug, and optimize application performance for low-latency API responses.
Collaborate with frontend teams to integrate user-facing elements with server-side logic.

Databases: Strong understanding of SQL, specifically MySQL, including query optimization and database design.
API Design: Experience building and consuming RESTful APIs.
Tools & Version Control: Proficiency with Git, GitHub/GitLab, and basic familiarity with Linux command-line environments.
