5. Ability to lead the transformation of legacy Rails logic into a robust API architecture to support a React front end.
6. Expertise in integrating and optimizing Searchkick and Elasticsearch functionalities for enhanced search capabilities within certain models.
7. Proficient in macOS development environments.
