- Handle event-driven programming to create responsive, fluid user interactions across browsers and devices.
- Collaborate with backend engineers to consume and manage RESTful APIs and JSON data using AJAX.
- Optimize front-end performance through code refactoring, lazy loading, and minimizing DOM reflows/repaints.
- Ensure cross-browser compatibility, accessibility, and responsiveness in all front-end implementations.
- Perform code reviews, testing, and debugging to maintain code quality and reliability.
- Maintain clear documentation for scripts, reusable components, and front-end integration workflows.
