* AWS - We utilize a number of AWS services (ec2, route 53, s3, rds, vpc, etc)
* Web/Mobile - We really dig into how the web and APIs (http, ssl/tls, soap, xml, rest, json, etc) operate on a deep technical level. Bonus points for web security, completing Stripe CTFs, reverse-engineering, packet sniffing, etc
* Excel - Very solid understanding of XLSX, auto-generation of spreadsheets, integration of dynamic data.
