- Owning end-to-end product workflows, from frontend UX to backend systems, data pipelines, and edge cases.
- Building world-class frontend experiences in React and TypeScript alongside scalable, reliable backend systems.
- Designing and owning AI-enabled systems, including embeddings, retrieval, and agents that create real operational leverage.
- Developing and operating data pipelines for large-scale unstructured data.
- Making pragmatic technical decisions on architecture, tools, and frameworks to balance speed and quality.
- Deploying, running, and maintaining software in cloud environments with a 'you ship it, you run it' mindset.
