Make schema decisions that scale as the business adds locations, services, and providers, prioritizing content relationships, reusability, and long-term maintainability
Build custom Sanity Studio configurations and input components where default UI doesn't serve editorial workflows

Implement performance budgets and Core Web Vitals targets that directly impact conversion
Own the deployment pipeline on Vercel including preview environments, CI checks, and rollback capability

Manage your own delivery with context and goals rather than pre-scoped tickets
Document architectural decisions so the codebase can be extended or handed off without tribal knowledge transfer

How You'll Succeed

You make sound architectural calls when specifications are incomplete, asking the right questions to close ambiguity before building

You ship features that perform well and scale as the business grows
