- Create efficient pages using server-side rendering (SSR) or static site generation (SSG) via Next.js for performance-optimized analytics displays.
- Collaborate with designers to implement responsive and visually appealing user interfaces using Tailwind CSS, ensuring a smooth, intuitive experience for the platform’s users.
- Optimize the full stack to ensure quick load times, low-latency data fetching, and smooth user experiences, especially for data-heavy visualizations and analytics pages.
- Deploy and manage the platform using Vercel, taking advantage of its serverless functions for backend processes and ensuring efficient deployments and scaling.
- Own features end-to-end — from API and data layer through UI to production — with a strong focus on quality and maintainability.
- Participate in code reviews, pair programming, and knowledge-sharing sessions to ensure high-quality, maintainable code.
- Implement unit and end-to-end testing for both frontend and backend components to ensure reliability and reduce bugs in production.
