- Write clean, maintainable, and well-documented code.
- Collaborate with UI/UX designers, product managers, and other developers to implement new features.
- Test software to ensure responsiveness, efficiency, and bug-free performance.
- Use version control systems (like Git) for code management and collaboration.
