Architects intuitive and scalable REST and GraphQL APIs using industry-standard design patterns and robust architecture best practices.

This skill provides a comprehensive framework for designing modern APIs, covering both RESTful and GraphQL paradigms in depth. It guides developers through resource-oriented architecture, schema-first development, versioning strategies, and standardized error handling. By implementing these principles, you can build maintainable, developer-friendly backends that efficiently handle complex requirements such as advanced pagination, filtering, HATEOAS, and the N+1 query problem through optimized resolver patterns.
