Experience in stabilizing monolithic applications and guiding migrations to modular / microservice architectures. Solid understanding of logging, monitoring (Datadog / ELK), and automated testing frameworks.
Strong problem-solving skills to resolve issues without introducing regressions.
Excellent communication and client-facing skills.
