- Has a strong interest in UI, frontend engineering, and product design
- Cares about visual polish, spacing, layout, and interaction details
- Enjoys building intuitive workflows rather than just functional screens
- Thinks about edge cases and real user behavior

- Writes clean, maintainable, scalable UI code
- Collaborates well with product and design stakeholders
