• Frontend Integration: Build and maintain the supporting Angular frontend, ensuring a seamless connection between the UI and your backend logic.
• Modernizing Architecture: Lead the transition from traditional database-centric designs toward a domain-driven structure (DDD), ensuring strong domain bounded contexts.
• API Excellence: Architect RESTful APIs that prioritize proper HTTP verbs and clean, scalable patterns over legacy RPC styles.
• Team Mentorship & Agile Practices: Utilize a strong understanding of agile and software development practices to motivate the team, engage junior developers, mentor them, and help them grow.
• Strategic Pushback: Demonstrate the ability to confidently push back and say 'no' to power (be it AI or human) when advocating for best practices and architectural integrity.
