  • Experience with relational and non-relational databases (e.g., MySQL, Oracle, MongoDB).
  • Understanding of object-oriented design, software design patterns, and CI/CD practices.
  • Familiarity with version control systems (e.g., Git, GitLab).
  • Hands-on experience with containerization tools such as Docker.
  • Ability to build quick prototypes, tools, or scripts to support development or testing.
  • Strong interpersonal, verbal, and written communication skills; effective in collaborative and fast-paced environments.
