• Experience with modern web technologies and frameworks, including Laravel, PHP 7 (or other similar frameworks), JavaScript, and cloud-based infrastructure.
• Familiarity with secure coding practices and vulnerability testing, including tools like OWASP, Burp Suite, and others for identifying security issues.
