🌸Serve as the primary architect for the client-server contract, collaborating with Swift/macOS engineers to define JSON schemas, error codes and status enums.
🌸Design relational database schemas in PostgreSQL that support comprehensive audit trails and versioned records for every approval decision.
🌸Maintain high code quality through rigorous pytest coverage and document the API lifecycle to ensure long-term maintainability for QA and future engineers.
