Reference answer

A full-stack developer is a versatile engineer proficient in all layers of software development, from the user interface (front-end) to the server-side logic (back-end) and database management. They understand how different components interact, enabling them to design, build, and maintain complete applications. This includes front-end technologies (like HTML, CSS, JavaScript), back-end languages and frameworks (such as Python/Django, Node.js/Express, Java/Spring), and database systems (SQL or NoSQL). Their broad knowledge allows them to effectively troubleshoot issues and make informed decisions across the entire technology stack.
