• Expert-level knowledge in Web 2.0 technologies, including AJAX, social platforms, widgets, mobile and emerging interfaces.
• Strong object-oriented design skills, deep familiarity with architectural patterns and enterprise design frameworks.
• Experience in database modeling and design using Oracle, SQL Server, or DB2.
