microservices, event‑driven services, and integration patterns, with sound knowledge of authentication, authorization, versioning, resiliency, and API lifecycle management.

Hands‑on experience with cloud platforms such as Azure or GCP, containerized workloads, CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure as code such as Terraform, and production observability using logs, metrics, traces, and alerting.

Proven ability to lead technical decisions, influence across teams, mentor engineers, and communicate architecture, trade‑offs, delivery risks, and recommendations to senior stakeholders.
