- Strong command of responsive design, accessibility, SEO, analytics tagging, and A/B testing enablement
- Experience with CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps, CircleCI)
- Familiarity with automated testing (Jest, Playwright/Cypress) and performance optimization tools (Lighthouse, WebPageTest)
