Development and code quality
- Write clean, testable, well-structured code (primarily Elixir), ensuring compatibility, stability, and maintainability.
- Conduct code reviews, enforce coding standards, and mentor developers on best practices.

- Maintain CI/CD workflows and deployment readiness for production environments.
