- Mobile & Integration Tech: Extensive experience building and delivering mobile applications using React Native and Expo.
- Architecture & Testing: Expertise in designing scalable solutions and defining robust testing strategies across unit, integration, and UI layers.
- API & Integration Development: Strong experience consuming complex APIs and managing real-time data flows.
- Microsoft & Cloud Awareness: Experience working within Microsoft-centric environments, including Azure-based ecosystems.
- Full-Stack Mindset: Comfortable contributing across frontend and backend development to deliver end-to-end solutions.
