- Containers & Infrastructure - Local application development and testing using Podman and VirtualBox; working familiarity with deploying to Kubernetes (K3s) clusters (cluster administration handled by dedicated DevOps).

- Toolchain & Process - Source control in Bitbucket (Git) and automated CI/CD pipeline usage in Atlassian Bamboo.
- Problem-Solving - Ability to execute tasks independently and resolve system-level issues in a lean team setting.
Desired Qualifications:
