• Demonstrate proficiency in designing and maintaining reliable CI/CD pipelines, writing automated tests across multiple layers (e.g., unit, integration), and familiarity with modern frontend technologies like React.
• Showcase the ability to work autonomously on complex technical tasks, influence stakeholders, facilitate collaboration, and make decisions that impact project success.
