• Develop and maintain document and report generation using JasperReports and iText to produce phytosanitary certificates, veterinary export health certificates, Lacey Act declarations, and program reports in PDF and related formats.
• Build, configure, deploy, and maintain application components hosted in Microsoft Azure, and support cloud performance, scalability, and reliability.
• Develop and maintain RESTful APIs and integrations, including with USDA eAuthentication and other program services.
