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
