• Architecture depth: designing scalable mobile systems (modular architectures, reactive patterns, secure storage, offline capabilities).

• Tooling & pipelines: CI/CD for mobile (e.g., Fastlane/GitHub Actions/Bitrise), automated testing frameworks, code quality and release processes (App Store/Play).

• API & integration: REST/GraphQL, authentication/authorization (OAuth2/OpenID), analytics/telemetry, feature flags/config management.

• Quality & reliability mindset: data‑driven improvements using crash analytics and performance profiling.

• Security & compliance awareness: PCI considerations for payments, privacy‑by‑design in the EU context.
