Collaborate & Communicate: Work closely with designers and senior developers during Figma handoff to understand project scope, flag questions early, and execute with confidence. Communicate clearly in writing and avoid allowing ambiguity to become a problem.

Hands-On Development: Design, develop, and maintain custom WordPress, Webflow, and Elementor websites from concept to launch โ working directly from Figma prototypes to deliver responsive, accurate implementations across both internal and client-facing properties, using Claude Code as a force multiplier throughout.
