• Implement trunk-based development practices to enable continuous integration and rapid delivery.

• Develop clean, maintainable, and testable code following SOLID principles and software

design best practices.

• Ensure high levels of unit test coverage, test-driven development (TDD), and behavior-driven development (BDD).

• Actively contribute to hands-on coding, code reviews, and refactoring to maintain high

engineering standards.

• Lead the design and architecture of complex software systems using Domain-Driven Design (DDD) principles.

• Collaborate with business stakeholders, domain experts, and engineering teams to model real-world business problems into software solutions.

• Implement strategic DDD patterns, such as anti-corruption layers, context maps, and

event-driven architectures.

• Work closely with product and engineering teams to ensure scalable and maintainable

system design.
