5. Data Processing & Storage: Create efficient data processing pipelines and manage SQL/NoSQL databases to store and organize large datasets collected through Scrapy.
6. System Architecture: Work collaboratively with other developers to design scalable, resilient architectures that support data-heavy applications.
7. Continuous Integration & Automation: Use Python to automate tasks, optimize CI/CD workflows, and enhance deployment processes for faster and more reliable releases.
8. Mentorship & Code Review: Mentor junior developers, conduct code reviews, and contribute to maintaining high coding standards and best practices.
