- Integrate cloud databases, third-party services, and APIs to ensure a unified experience for users.
- Work closely with product managers, front-end developers, and stakeholders to align on project goals and deliverables.
- Monitor and enhance application performance across mobile, tablet, and desktop devices.
- Participate in code reviews and mentor junior developers on best practices.

- Maintain clear documentation and provide regular project updates to stakeholders.
