continuous testing and API monitoring tools. - Bonus: Experience
with JavaScript and TypeScript for light frontend development or
full-stack integration. - Bonus: Familiarity with modern frontend
frameworks such as React, Angular, or Vue for building healthcare
dashboards or API testing interfaces. - Bonus: Demonstrated ability
