Knowledge sharing: act as the subject matter expert and coach front-end developers and teammates on efficient ways to query and use the data layer.
Collaboration: work closely with the team lead and UI developers so the data infrastructure fully supports product needs.

Extensive experience in Linux-centric environments, with a focus on system-level performance and low-latency tuning
