quality, performance, and reliability throughout.\nBuild complex, data-driven, multi-user web applications that handle real-world load, concurrency, and security requirements.\nEnsure web applications are maintainable, well-tested, well-documented, and built to last.\nTake full ownership of features end-to-end: front-end UI, back-end API, data layer, and deployment.\nProactively identify and resolve performance bottlenecks, security vulnerabilities, and scalability issues.\nParticipate in production support, diagnosing, triaging, and resolving application issues in live environments.\nFront-End\nOwn the front-end architecture, making deliberate, well-reasoned decisions about component structure, state management, routing strategy, data fetching patterns, and build configuration.\nBuild production-quality Vue 3 applications using the Composition API, script setup syntax, composables, provide/inject, teleport, and advanced slot patterns.\nDesign and enforce a scalable, maintainable component library with reusable, well-documented, and prop-typed components that the team can build on confidently.\nWrite TypeScript across the entire front-end codebase, including strict mode, well-defined interfaces, generic types, utility types, and proper type narrowing.\nArchitect state management with a clear separation of state, getters, and actions, applying the right approach for each situation.\nConfigure and optimize Vite build pipelines, including code splitting, tree shaking, lazy-loaded routes, dynamic imports, chunk strategy, and bundle size analysis.\nBuild responsive, mobile-first UIs using modern CSS, including Flexbox, Grid, SCSS/SASS, CSS custom properties, and BEM or equivalent methodology.\nImplement and enforce WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility standards, including semantic HTML, ARIA roles and attributes, keyboard navigation, focus management, and screen reader compatibility.\nOwn front-end performance, optimizing Core Web Vitals (LCP, CLS, FID/INP), implementing lazy loading, virtual scrolling, debounce/throttle strategies, and memoization.\nHandle complex client-side concerns including authentication flows (JWT, OAuth2, token refresh), route guards, role-based UI rendering, and secure token storage patterns.\nDesign robust API integration layers with interceptors, centralized error handling, retry logic, loading/error/empty states, and optimistic UI updates.\nWrite comprehensive front-end tests, including unit/component tests and end-to-end tests with Playwright or Cypress.\nCollaborate closely with UX/UI designers to translate wireframes and mockups into pixel-perfect, accessible, performant implementations.\nEnsure cross-browser and cross-device compatibility across Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, and major mobile browsers.\nStay current with front-end tooling and web standards and bring forward-thinking recommendations to the team.\nBack-End\nDesign and deliver full-stack features

schemas, stored procedures, indexes, and T-SQL queries.\nImplement background processing and messaging using Hangfire, AWS SQS, or Azure Service Bus.\nWrite clean, testable code and implement unit and integration tests as part of the development workflow.\nDevOps & CI/CD\nOwn and continuously improve multi-stage CI/CD pipelines in Azure DevOps, including build, automated testing, code quality gates, approval gates, and environment-specific releases.\nEnforce Git best practices including branching strategy (GitFlow or trunk-based), pull request standards, code review quality, and release tagging.\nAutomate front-end and back-end testing and deployment processes within the pipeline.\nMaintain Azure DevOps Boards and contribute to sprint planning and backlog refinement.\nLeadership & Collaboration\nServe as the front-end authority on the team, setting standards and guiding others through complex front-end challenges.\nLead code reviews with substantive, constructive feedback that elevates code quality and team capability.\nMentor junior and mid-level developers, especially on front-end architecture, Vue 3 patterns, TypeScript, and performance.\nDrive architecture and design discussions, creating technical specifications, component diagrams, and ADRs.\nPartner with QA, DBAs, Business Analysts, and Product Owners throughout the full SDLC.\nProactively identify technical debt, propose remediation plans, and lead modernization efforts.\nParticipate in all Agile ceremonies: sprint planning, standups, retrospectives, and backlog grooming.\nWhat You Can Bring:
