• Performance and Optimization: Monitor and optimize the performance of applications. Identify bottlenecks and implement performance improvements across both frontend (React) and backend (Java/Spring Boot) layers.
• Agile Development: Participate in Agile development processes, including sprint planning, daily standups, retrospectives, and backlog grooming. Contribute to defining and prioritizing work within the team.
• Stay Current: Continuously research and apply emerging technologies and industry best practices to improve the development process and product quality.
