Your projects:

• Build REST API endpoints and document them in Postman or Swagger.
• Fix bugs from the Jira backlog, starting with small, well-defined tickets.
• Pair with other engineers over screen share to work through tricky problems.
• Write and test backend features in Python or Node.js under the guidance of a senior developer.
• Profile slow endpoints and suggest fixes, such as adding an index or caching a result.
