4. Raise pull requests on GitHub and respond to code review comments within a day.

6. Build REST API endpoints and document them in Postman or Swagger

7. Pair with other engineers over screen share to work through tricky problems.

8. Fix bugs from the Jira backlog, starting with small, well-defined tickets
