• Support and oversee testing processes, ensuring high-quality releases.
• Participate in mobile application development for iOS, Android, and cross-platform frameworks.
• Work with NFC and RFID technologies to expand our product capabilities.
• Explore opportunities to integrate AI into existing software to enhance automation, analytics, and decision-making.
• Collaborate with stakeholders to translate business requirements into effective technical solutions.
• Provide technical mentorship and guidance to other developers.
