Architecture & Design (Hands-on)
Design and implement backend services using Node.js (TypeScript preferred).
Architect and develop RESTful APIs, GraphQL APIs, and event-driven systems.
Build serverless and microservices-based architectures using AWS (Lambda, API Gateway, Step Functions, DynamoDB).
Evaluate technical trade-offs and create PoCs and reference implementations.
Ensure solutions are secure, performant, and cost-efficient.
Cloud Ecosystem (AWS)
Hands-on development with AWS services: Lambda, ECS/EKS, DynamoDB, RDS, S3, CloudFront, SNS/SQS, Cognito, API Gateway.
Implement Infrastructure as Code (IaC) using Terraform, AWS CDK, or CloudFormation.
