  • Project Ownership: Demonstrable experience owning projects end-to-end, from ideation to deployment and stakeholder management. You have a history of making things demonstrably better.

  • Cloud & Infrastructure: Hands-on experience with AWS. You've had responsibility for deploying and managing applications and infrastructure.
