Even though I work quite independently, I’m never on my own. In my team there are two other Android developers. We split new projects, plan who does what and help each other. Every Friday all Android developers have a meeting to share what we’re building and raise and issues we’re having. We talk about what we’ve learnt, better ways to code, how to fix incidents and how to make things faster. It’s a supportive community, and it means changes that affect the whole app are agreed together and rolled out smoothly.
I help banks make mobile apps by creating software modules for Android devices. The modules are the building blocks that make things like credit cards and bank accounts work in the apps, and the banks can pick and choose the functions they need, add their colours and logo, and then the accounts are ready to run!
Right now, I’m programming savings accounts, so people can manage and grow their money in safe, simple ways. My work is used in different countries, including Romania and Australia, so lots of people benefit from it.
