Use AI agents and copilots to generate code, debug issues, write tests, and optimize performance across multiple stacks. Create best practices for AI instructional files accross repositories and push those standards and best practices forward. Provide technical mentorship and guidance on best practices, tooling, and AI-first development patterns.
