2 demonstrated3 partial1 gap

The candidate doesn't have deep theoretical knowledge of .NET, MS-SQL, SOLID, or design patterns, nor does they have much practical experience with many of them, so Nikolay may have forgotten something or simply haven't encountered it. However, he is smart enough to implement an algorithm or method, even if he has not encountered it before. Therefore, Nikolay is open to new ideas and should have experience.
