• Integrate frontend components with backend systems via REST APIs, WebSockets, or message brokers.
• Ensure applications are performant, responsive, and maintainable across different operating systems.
• Define and implement architectural patterns such as MVVM/MVC with dependency injection frameworks.
• Maintain clean separation of concerns and scalable component structure.
• Profile and optimize rendering, data binding, and asynchronous task handling.
• Diagnose performance bottlenecks using tools like VisualVM, JProfiler, or Java Mission Control.
• Implement automated unit and UI tests using JUnit, Mockito, and TestFX.
• Conduct code reviews and enforce best practices in maintainability, readability, and test coverage.
• Work closely with UX designers and backend teams to refine requirements and deliver high-quality features.
• Document architecture, workflows, and components for long-term maintainability
