• CI/CD & DevSecOps: automated pipelines using DevSecOps tooling (e.g. Azure DevOps, Git-based workflows)
• Version control: Git, SVN
• APIs & security: REST, SOAP, API management, OAuth2 / OIDC
• Databases: SQL / PL-SQL / T-SQL, MS SQL Server, MySQL, Oracle; Redis, Cassandra
• Storage: Azure Blob Storage, WebDAV
• Operating systems: Windows, Linux
