- Consume existing APIs and develop limited APIs when business logic is already defined
- Collaborate with internal teams and integrators while focusing primarily on application‑level development
- Participate in knowledge transfer and quickly absorb domain and system knowledge
- 5 most recent years as a Java Developer
- Last project was supporting large, custom developed, critical apps
