  • UI/UX Collaboration: Work closely with UI/UX designers and frontend developers to ensure the architectural design supports the desired user experience, focusing on low latency and responsiveness.

  • Cost Optimization: Monitor cloud resource usage and optimize configurations for cost-efficiency without compromising performance or reliability.
