But that’s not all: our team also works with Kotlin and Swift for native App development and Xamarin or Flutter for cross-platform App development, deploying and integrating our Apps into Microsoft and Azure ecosystems.

- Ensuring that unit tests/test sets are updated correctly so that the continuous integration engine (CI / CD) remains flawless
- Following development standards to ensure compliance with best practices
- Actively looking for opportunities to improve standards and improve process efficiency
- Identifying and troubleshooting system issues, working with the functional or development part as needed
- Reporting software defects using a bug tracking system and helping developers fix them
- Working with the Project Manager and the development team to ensure timely and quality deliveries
- Collaborating with a geographically distributed team
