• Collaborate closely with product managers, UX designers, and business stakeholders to translate complex requirements into elegant technical solutions.
• Drive technical decision-making, ensuring architectural consistency and alignment with long-term product goals.
• Stay current with emerging technologies, frameworks, and industry best practices relevant to PWA, offline apps, and scalable NodeJS systems.
