• Apply secure coding practices, authentication and authorization patterns, and enterprise security standards throughout the application stack.
• Design efficient data models, database schemas, queries, and performance-tuning strategies for SQL Server.
• Troubleshoot complex production issues involving application code, database performance, cloud infrastructure, integrations, and deployment processes.
