Create proprietary code and translate business logic into project requirements.
Develop code using development and security best practices, supporting reusable and maintainable systems.
Provide system design recommendations based on technical requirements.
Work independently on development tasks with minimal supervision.
Write effective unit and integration tests.

Build agentic workflows using tool and function calling, multistep orchestration, state and memory, human-in-the-loop checkpoints, and fallback handling.
Integrate AI inference into React or Angular applications using user experience patterns for AI, including streaming responses, latency masking, citations, edit-and-retry, and graceful degradation.
Define success criteria for AI output, build test sets, and instrument logging, tracing, monitoring, and cost and token controls.
Apply responsible AI guardrails, including prompt-injection defense, personally identifiable information and client-confidentiality handling, output validation, and audit trails.
Use AI-assisted development tools appropriately to accelerate delivery.
Own all or part of a software development engagement and integrate with cross-functional teams.
Thought-partner with stakeholders and consulting teams on web development and delivery topics, drawing conclusions on external and internal issues and dependencies.
