• Build reusable, responsive, mobile-first, cross-browser React interfaces from UI/UX designs
• Debug browser, API, service, and deployment issues using logs, traces, and reproducible tests; validate AI-proposed fixes and make targeted corrections
• Ensure unit, component, integration, and end-to-end tests cover acceptance criteria, negative paths, authorization, and non-functional needs; independently verify generated assertions and enforce CI/CD quality and security checks before merge
• Coordinate cross-functional delivery, dependencies, and risks; seek specialist review beyond personal expertise
• Engage clients on requirements, technical decisions, delivery trade-offs, technical discussions, and issue resolution
• Review human- and AI-generated changes for business logic, specification alignment, security, maintainability, dependencies, and test adequacy; approve only explainable, validated changes and provide actionable feedback
• Guide approved AI workflows with repository context, constraints, and reviewable increments; protect confidential data and credentials, respect agent permissions, and mentor developers in SDD, validation, and continuous improvement
