 * Experience maintaining and enhancing legacy production systems on a federal program, including working within formal security, release, change-control, and operational-support processes.

 * Design, develop, test, document, and maintain secure, production-quality software.
 * Develop and support Java/Spring backend services, APIs, business logic, database integrations, and React- or Angular-based user interfaces.
 * Analyze existing code and system behavior to diagnose complex application, integration, data, and performance issues.
 * Support legacy production applications while contributing to incremental modernization and maintainability improvements.
 * Write and optimize SQL queries, database objects, and data-access components using PostgreSQL.
 * Participate in code reviews, automated testing, defect resolution, release preparation, deployment validation, and production support.
 * Work within AWS-hosted environments and established continuous integration and continuous delivery processes using Jenkins and GitHub.
