Working with Entity Framework Core to manage data access and performance
Writing and optimising SQL Server queries

Practical experience using Entity Framework Core and LINQ
Confidence working with SQL Server in a production environment
Basic front-end capability using JavaScript, jQuery, and CSS
Experience using Git for version control
Awareness of unit testing and an ability to write and maintain simple tests
Useful, But Not Essential

Experience working in Microsoft Azure environments
Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines, ideally using Azure DevOps
