Your question is Resume Gap Explanation. Take a moment with it on the right.
Talk me through your thinking if you like. When you're confident, submit your answer and I'll grade it like a real screen (7/10 or better passes).
What did you do in your last role, and explain the gap in your resume. Please focus on your responsibilities, contributions, reason for the gap, and how you used that period. Be direct and professional, and share only the level of personal detail you are comfortable discussing. We are looking for a clear account of your ownership, judgment, and readiness to return to a backend engineering role.
