o    Routing strategies, guards, resolvers, lazy loading
o    Change detection optimization
.    Experience with Dev Assist tools (code generation, diagramming, automation helpers).

Who You Are:
You're an Angular engineer who thinks in design — components, modules, state, routing, and performance. You write clean, predictable code and understand how UI decisions impact scalability. You thrive in modernization efforts, communicate clearly, and collaborate naturally with UX, product, and backend teams. You enjoy building systems that last, not just screens that work.
