- Write clean, efficient, and modular code optimized for ultra-low file sizes and fast load times.
- Collaborate with creative designers and motion artists to translate visual storyboards into functional interactive prototypes.
- Troubleshoot and resolve cross-browser compatibility issues and performance bottlenecks in mobile in-app environments.
- Execute on project goals independently, managing timelines for multiple concurrent interactive projects.
- Conduct thorough testing and debugging across various devices and ad network environments (e.g., AppLovin, IronSource, Unity Ads).
