- Review and improve app-to-backend integrations, including:
- authentication
- messaging
- subscriptions
- profile management
- related user flows
- Refactor legacy code where needed to improve maintainability, performance, and reliability
- Identify and document backend endpoints, business logic, and system dependencies
- Set up and enforce a clean Git workflow for the project, including:
- repository organization
- branching strategy
- pull requests
- commit standards
- release practices
- Migrate code currently managed outside proper version control into Git without disrupting ongoing development
- Work with the team to reduce risk during migration from ad hoc file/version management into a structured source control process
