- Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work closely with both the Regulatory Division, and at times the State Lab, to gather requirements, understand workflows, and ensure the application effectively supports the end-to-end food safety inspection process.
- Quality Assurance: Implement rigorous testing and debugging protocols to deliver a high-quality, reliable application.
- Documentation: Maintain clear and comprehensive documentation of the application's codebase, features, and user guides.
- User Training and Support: Provide training and ongoing support to the client Regulatory Division staff on the effective use of the FSMS iOS application.
