- Strong experience with file I/O, data packaging, and serialization in .NET for NIST-compliant data files.
- Proficiency in implementing structured exception handling and logging frameworks (e.g., Serilog, NLog, or Microsoft.Extensions.Logging) for biometric workflows.
- Strong understanding of RTID message transport protocols, transaction life cycles, and status code interpretation.
- Experience with JSON data structures, serialization/deserialization, and secure REST API integration.
- Understanding of authentication and authorization mechanisms (e.g., OAuth 2.0, JWT, or Active Directory integration) for secure system access.
- Experience optimizing application performance and memory management when handling large biometric image files.
- Experience implementing schema validation, checksum verification, and automated test cases for biometric file compliance.
- Awareness of RCMP RTID and NIST version control requirements, ensuring backward compatibility in system updates.
