Programming and build: collaborate with others when necessary to review specifications.

User focus (frontend developer): collaborate with user researchers and interaction designers to represent user needs internally. Explain the difference between user needs and the desires of the user. You champion user research to focus on all users. Effectively prioritise and define approaches to understand the user story, guiding others to do so.
