This role requires conceptual clarity and real project experience, not theoretical knowledge or isolated scripting exposure.

Build and expose RESTful APIs using FastAPI
Consume external/internal REST APIs and integrate them into applications
Use Pandas for data processing, transformation, and analysis within applications
