• Contribute to technical design decisions and recommend practical, sustainable solutions.
• Collaborate with engineering teams and stakeholders to translate requirements into working software.
• Take ownership of deliverables and work independently with minimal supervision.
• Maintain code quality, application performance, system stability, and technical documentation.
