Strong expertise in Node.js and Express with TypeScript
Strong proficiency in PostgreSQL, including schema design, migrations, data modeling, and query optimization
Hands-on experience with WebSockets and real-time systems (preferably socket.io)
Strong problem-solving skills and ability to work independently on ambiguous, complex tasks
