• Measure and improve Core Web Vitals (LCP, CLS, INP) in collaboration with designers.
• Establish testing strategies: unit (Jasmine, Karma, Jest), integration/e2e (Protractor, Cypress, Playwright).
• Set up linting, formatting, type safety and CI checks for reliable builds (ESLint, Prettier, strict Type Script).
• Drive documentation (tech specs, ADRs) and maintain high‑quality code reviews.
• Implement secure front‑end practices: OAuth2/OIDC, JWT handling, XSS/CSRF protections, CSP.
• Collaborate on observability: frontend logging, tracing, feature flags and client‑side error tracking (Sentry, Datadog, New Relic).
