    • Domain & Tools: Proven cloud (Azure/GCP) and Agile experience.
    • Leadership: Demonstrated mentorship and architectural contributions.

  • ⚠️ Gaps:

    • Next.js Missing: No explicit mention in resume (JD’s top primary skill).

Final Recommendation:

Sam is a high-potential candidate with strong full-stack and cloud engineering experience. While he lacks direct Next.js exposure, his React.js proficiency (5+ years) and Azure/GCP hands-on work compensate. Recommend a technical interview to assess:

  1. Next.js familiarity (can he ramp up quickly?).
  2. SQL depth (vs. MongoDB emphasis).
  3. Cloud preference (AWS vs. Azure/GCP balance).

"His leadership in scaling systems and mentoring juniors adds value beyond pure technical fit."
