2. Query and update data in PostgreSQL or MySQL, including simple migrations

3. Profile slow endpoints and suggest fixes, such as adding an index or caching a result.

4. Refactor old modules when asked, keeping behaviour the same

5. Build REST API endpoints and document them in Postman or Swagger

6. Write and test backend features in Python or Node.js under the guidance of a senior developer.
