- Design and optimize Postgres relational and JSON schemas, queries, indexes, transactional boundaries
- Implement distributed caching layers and invalidation mechanisms for low-latency data access
- Build streaming REST and MCP server endpoints for real-time design intelligence and tokens
- Implement secure token validation, RBAC, and payload sanitization across data pipelines
- Architect performant, responsive web applications and dashboards using React and TypeScript
- Develop event-driven client features for Figma integrations, handling canvas sync and data serialization
- Write scripts to inspect design system component libraries, extracting schemas and tokens into MCP contracts
- Develop code-modification routines letting AI agents safely parse and integrate new designs
- Design and maintain automated testing engines and regression harnesses for AI-generated code quality
- Maintain suite of baseline test scenarios tracking compile rates, token compliance, and latency
- Build automated linters verifying WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility and structural schema validity
- Integrate automated verification suites into CI/CD pipelines to catch regressions and token drift
