• Translate complex engineering and AI outputs into clear, interactive, and usable components.
• Contribute to system architecture decisions across frontend and backend.
• Drive technical excellence by improving frontend and backend architecture, performance, and developer experience.
• Take ownership of features from concept to deployment, influencing product direction and technical trade-offs.
• Build high-performance, interactive 3D web experiences for complex engineering and infrastructure models.
