• Elevate Frontend Standards: Write high-quality, testable, and performant code. Establish frontend best practices, lead UI-focused design reviews, and champion accessibility and performance across the Integrated Services ecosystem.

• Dedication to frontend testing best practices utilizing tools like Jest, Cypress, or React Testing Library.
• Comfort working across modern CI/CD tooling, frontend build pipelines (e.g., Webpack, Vite), and collaborative Git-based workflows.
