- Architect and implement full-stack features using Next.js, delivering both frontend experiences and robust backend services
- Deploy and maintain systems on Vercel/AWS, including CI/CD pipelines and monitoring
- Design and build scalable APIs with proper service architecture, understanding patterns like dependency injection, transactions, and idempotency
- Optimize for serverless constraints—implementing background job processing, caching strategies, and avoiding common scalability pitfalls
- Work with PostgreSQL and ORMs, writing efficient queries and understanding when to use transactions
- Partner closely with product, design, and growth to rapidly test hypotheses and ship improvements
