Leverage AI developer tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Amazon Q) to accelerate development, improve code quality, and support team productivity.
Ensure high standards for data quality, documentation, testing, and maintainability.
Participate in code reviews, design sessions, and continuous improvement efforts.
