Skilled at providing effective context — codebase conventions, requirements, constraints — to produce production-quality results
Experience using AI to accelerate test authoring, documentation, and routine refactoring
Aware of AI tool limitations: hallucinated APIs, outdated patterns, security pitfalls in generated code, and the need for human verification before merge
Elastic Search or other non-relational query experience
