• Understand how to implement front-end technologies (HTML, CSS, JavaScript) to create seamless and engaging user interfaces and solve specific UI challenges
• Optimize applications for maximum speed and scalability while ensuring cross-browser and cross-device compatibility and accessibility standards (WCAG AA)
• Collaborate closely with front-end developers to create proof-of-concept demos of interactions and experiences you want to accomplish through the UI
