⚠️ Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Avoid focusing only on front-end or UI skills; this role is deeply technical with back-end integration and automation.
  • Don't provide generic examples of demo work—be specific about Python, APIs, and AI/CI/CD usage.
  • Avoid neglecting the 'pattern recognition' aspect; show you can analyze data to drive scalable solutions, not just execute tasks.
