Use AI tools (Amazon Q, Cursor, Copilot, Claude, GPT) to accelerate development, refactoring, and problem‑solving. Turn product ideas into production‑ready systems quickly, without compromising quality. Integrate AI capabilities (LLMs, RAG, vector search) into backend workflows where they add real value. Act as the final filter for AI‑generated code—identify flaws, inefficiencies, and incorrect assumptions before they ship...
