- Define coding standards, review guidelines, and architectural decision records (ADRs) for the frontend chapter

- Collaborate with backend teams to design and consume RESTful and GraphQL APIs with strong typing (OpenAPI codegen, Apollo)
- Ensure pixel-perfect implementation of UX designs from Figma, maintaining consistency across breakpoints and devices

- Enforce accessibility standards (WCAG 2.1 AA) across all components, supporting screen readers and keyboard navigation
