• Strong understanding of modern AI/LLM concepts and architectures, including RAG, fine-tuning, prompt engineering, vector databases, agents, and orchestration frameworks. 
• Strong programming skills in Java with a deep understanding of distributed systems and APIs. 
• Experience with microservice architectures, message queues, and real-time data processing.
