2. Present a short demo of your work to the team every two weeks

3. Profile slow endpoints and suggest fixes, such as adding an index or caching a result

4. Add unit tests with pytest or Jest so new code does not lower coverage.

5. Update the README and internal Confluence pages when you change how something works.
