Overview:
A Full Stack Developer is a software engineer proficient in working on both the front-end (client-side) and back-end (server-side) portions of web applications.

- 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.
- Deploy applications to cloud platforms (like AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud) and manage DevOps and infrastructure concerns.
