Design robust and scalable database schemas.

Manage database migrations and long-term schema evolution.

Optimize queries, indexes, and data access patterns.

Make informed trade-offs between consistency, availability, and performance.

System Integration & Distributed Systems

Design and implement inter-system communication using REST, GraphQL, events, queues, and webhooks.

Build and maintain asynchronous processing and background jobs.

Integrate with internal services, third-party platforms, and external APIs.

Handle retries, idempotency, error handling, and cross-system data consistency.

Engineering Excellence

Write clean, maintainable, and testable code.

Participate actively in in-office architecture discussions and design reviews.
