• Join the daily 15-minute standup on Google Meet and post a short written update in Slack
• Build REST API endpoints and document them in Postman or Swagger
• Debug failing builds in the GitHub Actions pipeline and note what caused them
• Pair with other engineers over screen share to work through tricky problems
