• Translate product requirements into scalable technical designs.
• Build end-to-end solutions with strong expertise in Java backend development and working knowledge of ReactJS (or similar frontend frameworks).
  
  

Cloud & AI-Driven Engineering

• Architect and deploy applications on cloud-native platforms (AWS/GCP/Azure).
• Leverage AI-assisted development tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT, Codeium) for faster prototyping and coding.
• Apply strong engineering practices: clean code, version control, CI/CD pipelines, and automated testing.
  
  

Leadership & Mentorship

• Mentor junior engineers as the team scales.
• Balance rapid execution with scalable, maintainable system designs.
• Promote engineering best practices and technical excellence.
  
  

Collaboration & Continuous Improvement
