Participate in agile ceremonies, code reviews, and continuous integration/continuous delivery workflows. Apply accessibility standards to ensure inclusive digital experiences. Troubleshoot and resolve complex issues across UI and backend layers. Stay current with full-stack development trends, advocate for best practices, and contribute to a culture of learning and innovation.

Experience with test automation frameworks (e.g., JUnit, Jest, Cypress, React Testing Library). Proficiency with version control systems (Git) and collaborative development workflows. Extensive knowledge of accessibility standards and inclusive design principles. A proactive mindset, strong problem-solving skills, and a passion for clean, maintainable code.
