• Use modern development tooling, including VS Code and AI-assisted tools such as Claude Code, to speed up development while keeping code quality high

Collaboration & Delivery

• Take part in sprint planning, code reviews, and design discussions
• Present UI proposals, wireframes, and demos to stakeholders and leadership
• Document component usage, design guidelines, and frontend coding standards
• Deliver changes through GitLab CI/CD pipelines and containerized deployments
