- Manage concurrent tasks efficiently in distributed environments using asynchronous programming techniques.
- Design and implement data processing pipelines across cloud storage, compute, and database services.
- Optimize applications for performance and scalability through caching, async calls, and latency reduction.
- Design and develop serverless applications and RESTful APIs using Flask or FastAPI.
- Follow cloud security best practices (IAM, encryption, network isolation), and implement authentication mechanisms (OAuth, JWT, or managed identity services).
Skills, Knowledge and Expertise
