  • Strong understanding of headless and service-oriented platforms.
  • Strong understanding of 'monolith to MACH/composable' thinking and strategies.
  • Excellent leadership and team management skills, with the ability to mentor and develop team members.
  • Strong business acumen, with experience in business development, sales, and client relationship management.
