- Proven skills in HTML5, CSS3, and Javascript
- Adherence to solid development principles and the PSR Standards
- Comfortable with version control, in particular Git
- Strong understanding of web standards and best practices, especially pertaining to ecommerce
- A focus on code quality, performance, and security considerations through all stages of development
