In previous projects, I approached ambiguity by breaking down the problem into manageable parts and facilitating discussions with stakeholders to clarify objectives. This enabled me to formulate a clear plan and ensure everyone was aligned on the vision, which is crucial for a role like Senior Software Engineer at Peregrine.

I prioritize performance and scalability by implementing best practices during development, such as code optimization, efficient data management, and thorough testing on multiple devices. Staying updated with the latest performance tools and methodologies is key for a Senior Software Engineer, especially in a role focused on mobile applications at Peregrine.

I have extensive experience using React Native to build cross-platform applications. In a recent project, I leveraged React Native's component-based architecture to create a seamless user experience while optimizing for speed and performance, which is essential for the Senior Software Engineer role at Peregrine.
