• Implement secure coding practices and help address common risks (authentication/authorization, input validation, OWASP concerns).
• Produce technical documentation (API docs, runbooks, deployment notes, design decisions) appropriate for client delivery.

Consulting & Collaboration

• Collaborate with product owners, designers, architects, and client stakeholders to clarify requirements and propose solutions.
