  2. Adaptability Matters:

    • Worked alongside senior devs and PMs → learned to align with their workflows

    • Balanced speed with enterprise-grade stability

  3. User-Centric Design:

    • Guest feedback loops shaped features like real-time activity updates and interactive park maps

Metrics That Prove Process Works
