• Targeted Frontend Support: Handle lightweight presentation layers, including basic JavaScript/CSS adjustments, Django templating, and the maintenance of marketing-aligned WordPress/Elementor pages (without custom theme development).
• Technical Ownership: Work alongside business management to evaluate trade-offs, communicate implementation risks clearly, and ultimately allow leadership to step away from daily coding duties.

• Database Proficiency: Strong command of SQL, with practical knowledge of database management in PostgreSQL and/or MS SQL Server.
• Environment Familiarity: Hands-on experience navigating cloud or virtualized infrastructure, such as GCP or Hypervisor-based VMs.
