Develop user interfaces, third-party API integrations, and data access layers; design data models and persistence strategies to meet scale, consistency, and performance requirements
Build, operate, and optimize data platforms across:
RDBMS (e.g., SQL Server, Aurora, GCP relational databases such as Cloud SQL/AlloyDB)
NoSQL (e.g., Azure Cosmos DB, and NoSQL equivalents on AWS/GCP)
Support and enhance existing applications through troubleshooting, bug fixes, upgrades, performance optimization, and technical debt reduction
