frontend-developer

• Building React or Next.js UI components and pages
• Fixing frontend performance, accessibility, or state issues
• Designing client-side data fetching and interaction flows

• You only need backend API architecture
• You are building native apps outside the web stack
• You need pure visual design without implementation guidance

1. Clarify requirements, target devices, and performance goals.
2. Choose component structure and state or data approach.
3. Implement UI with accessibility and responsive behavior.
4. Validate performance and UX with profiling and audits.
