- Collaborate effectively with product managers, UI/UX designers, QA engineers, and other developers to thoroughly understand requirements, refine user stories, and deliver integrated, high-quality solutions.

- Adhere to and promote best practices for clean, well-documented, and maintainable code, including unit and integration testing.

- Utilize Git for version control, performing regular commits, branching, merging, and participating in pull request reviews to ensure code quality and knowledge sharing.

- Contribute to and understand deployment processes and continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipelines.

- Gain exposure to and contribute to the utilization of cloud services (e.g., AWS, Azure, GCP) for hosting, scaling, monitoring, and managing applications.

- Proactively identify, debug, and resolve complex technical issues and bugs across the full stack (frontend, backend, database, infrastructure).

- Identify performance bottlenecks and implement effective optimization strategies to enhance application responsiveness and efficiency.
