We are looking for an experienced Software Architect or Senior Full Stack Developer to provide architectural consultation for a medium-sized web application.

When submitting your proposal, please include: * A brief overview of your experience designing web application architectures. * Examples of similar projects you've worked on. * Your preferred technology stack and why. * Your availability for a consultation within the next few days. We are looking for someone who can provide practical, unbiased architectural guidance that will help us make informed technical decisions before development begins.
