WHO YOU ARE

Experience: 3+ years delivering production-grade cloud workflow automation and systems integration.

Architectural Mindset: Deeply familiar with event-driven architectures and modern system integration patterns.

AI Familiarity: Practical knowledge of how to format structured prompts and handle API inputs/outputs with LLMs inside a workflow step.
