## 🎓 Preparation Plan

### React Learning Path
- [ ] Complete React fundamentals course (Udemy/Pluralsight)

- [ ] Prepare to discuss: "I haven't used React in production but have Angular experience and am actively learning React"

## 💬 React Gap Talking Points

**Honest approach**:
"I haven't worked with React in production. At Tieto we used Angular for our frontend work, though my primary focus was backend architecture. I understand React's component model and have started learning it because I see it's the industry standard. My strength is backend .NET and SQL Server, which is 90% of this role, and I'm confident I can pick up React quickly given my Angular background and general frontend understanding."
