  • Strong knowledge of IT platforms, database design, and programming languages, including UNIX and NT.
  • Ability to evaluate materials, analyze data, and determine root causes of problems.
  • Capacity to manage multiple projects and adapt to changing deadlines effectively.
  • Strong communication skills to engage with various internal and external stakeholders.
