Skills:

• Software Engineering: The ability to design, develop, and maintain software systems and applications by applying principles and techniques of computer science, engineering, and mathematical analysis. This includes the capacity to understand user requirements, create and test the software, and resolve any software-related issues.

• Software Development: The ability to design, write, test, and implement software programs, applications, and systems. This includes understanding various programming languages, software architecture, and software testing methods. It also involves problem-solving capabilities to fix software issues and improve functionality.

• Programming: The ability to design, write, test, debug, and maintain the instructions, also known as code, that a computer must follow to execute a task. This skill often involves various programming languages such as Python, Java, or C++.

• Problem Solving: The ability to understand a complex situation or issue and devise a solution by defining the problem, identifying potential strategies, and ultimately choosing and implementing the most effective course of action.

• Analysis: The ability to examine complex situations or problems, break them down into smaller parts, and understand how these parts work together.

• Testing: The skill of evaluating a system or process, often in software or product development. It involves the ability to identify problems, measure effectiveness, and ensure quality or functionality.

• Agile: The ability to swiftly and effectively respond to changes, with an emphasis on continuous improvement and flexibility. In the context of project management, it denotes a methodology that promotes adaptive planning and encourages rapid and flexible responses to changes.

• Source Code Repository: The ability to effectively use a source code repository, a file archive and web hosting facility where a large amount of source code, for software or for web pages, is kept, either publicly or privately. This skill involves the ability to manage and track changes to code, identify and fix issues, merge code from different branches, and collaborate with other developers.
