Understanding and practical application of background workers and message queues (e.g., BullMQ, RabbitMQ) for handling asynchronous tasks. Proven experience in building secure systems, including protecting against common vulnerabilities (OWASP Top 10), configuring Content Security Policy (CSP), CORS, securing APIs, and hardening hosting environments. Experience working with analytics tools (e.g., Google Analytics, PostHog, Mixpanel) and platforms for A/B testing. A genuine passion for teaching, sharing knowledge, and helping team members grow professionally. Excellent communication skills, with the ability to articulate complex technical concepts clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
