  • Bluetooth connectivity experience (device to app/tablet).
  • Node-RED (creating or modifying workflows / data pipelines).
  • General IoT systems understanding: sensors data cloud.
  • Experience with connected devices, dataflows, gateways, APIs.
  • Basic experience with Linux, Docker, VPNs, firewall rules, or similar.
