  • Proven ability to translate architectural direction into concrete, buildable data models and solution designs.
  • Strong hands-on experience refactoring bespoke solutions into reusable, production-ready assets.
  • Working knowledge of CI/CD pipelines, automated code evaluation, and controlled promotion to production.
