- Technical Mastery: Deep understanding of modern front-end frameworks, and back-end languages (Node.js, Python)
- Problem Solver: Strong analytical skills and a bias for action able to break down complex problems and deliver pragmatic solutions
- Communicator: Exceptional written and verbal skills to articulate architecture decisions and partner effectively with non-technical stakeholders
