Develop reusable UI components and contribute to a consistent design system.
Implement efficient client-side and server-side state management for data-heavy workflows.
Build robust forms and validation flows for complex user inputs.
Optimize frontend performance through techniques such as code splitting, lazy loading, memoization, and efficient rendering.
Collaborate closely with backend, product, and design teams to deliver cohesive features end-to-end.
Ensure cross-browser compatibility, responsiveness, and accessibility best practices.
Write clean, maintainable, and well-documented code.
Participate in code reviews and contribute to frontend architecture decisions.
