3. JavaScript Ecosystem & Node.js
Server-Side Logic:  Utilize  Node.js  for real-time features, microservices, or custom build scripts.
API Development:  Build and maintain RESTful services and integrations with third-party platforms (CRMs, Payment Gateways).
4. Leadership & Dev Ops
Code Standards:  Conduct rigorous code reviews and enforce PSR standards and Drupal coding best practices.
