Understands the fundamentals of Monads & Functors at a basic level. Applies simple concepts in work tasks using Scala 3. Follows recommendations from senior developers when solving problems.

Knows basic monads and functors concepts for compiler engineering and can apply them in common tasks. Uses standard tools and follows established team practices. Understands when and why this approach is used.

Independently applies monadic patterns (with/case chains, Result tuples) for composable error handling in Elixir pipelines. Understands trade-offs between Railway-oriented programming and exception-based flows. Explains functor mapping over Ecto changesets and option types in code reviews.

Independently uses monads (Option, Either, Future, IO) for effect management in Scala applications. Understands trade-offs between Cats Effect and ZIO for referential transparency. Explains functor laws and for-comprehension desugaring to colleagues in code reviews.

Confidently applies monads and functors for compiler engineering in non-standard tasks. Independently selects optimal approach and tools. Analyzes trade-offs and suggests improvements to existing solutions.

Designs composable middleware pipelines using monadic patterns in Elixir (Plug chains, Ecto.Multi transaction composition). Architects error-handling strategies combining with-clauses, tagged tuples, and supervision trees. Mentors developers on algebraic thinking and when to avoid monadic abstractions in favor of OTP patterns.

Designs effect systems using monad transformers (EitherT, OptionT, ReaderT) and tagless final encoding for production Scala services. Architects domain layers with free monads or ZIO/Cats Effect for testable, composable business logic. Mentors developers on monad laws, stack-safe recursion with Eval, and pragmatic FP trade-offs.
