• Lead Feature Delivery: Act as the technical lead for features and workstreams, managing execution, translating complex business objectives into technical requirements, and mitigating project risks.

• Improve Efficiency and Automation: Proactively introduce automation and CI/CD pipelines to enhance workflow efficiency and improve sprint velocity.

• Technical Communication and Representation: Confidently present technical demos to clients, explain complex trade-offs in plain language, and represent the company externally (e.g., meetups, recruitment).
