    • Ensure code is clean, semantic, and production-ready
      • Commercial Impact & Growth: Identify upsell and optimisation opportunities in Shopify projects
      • Stay up to date with Shopify releases, React ecosystem updates, and modern tooling
      • Mentor junior team members and support agency-wide knowledge sharing
