• Managing upstream and downstream dependencies across systems, teams, and environments to protect delivery timelines.
• Breaking down complex business and technical problems into well-defined components that support parallel development and incremental delivery.
• Collaborating with team members, technical resources, and business stakeholders to plan, design, develop, test, and maintain business applications.
• Incorporating feedback from code reviews and design discussions to continuously grow technical depth and system understanding.
• Actively participating in Agile ceremonies and contributing to continuous improvement of team processes.
