• Strong full-stack experience with C#/.NET (.NET Core) and Angular (TypeScript)
• Proven experience building and supporting production web applications using both NoSQL (MongoDB) and relational databases (e.g., MSSQL)
• A reliable, ownership-driven approach, with deep technical problem-solving skills and strong attention to code quality

Advantageous experience and exposure include:

• Python
• ML/AI-enabled systems
• Docker, Kubernetes, or cloud platforms (Azure/AWS)
