What are your favorite parts of the industry?
I am able to see the work that I do and people using it. I work in an application where millions of events go through every single day. Millions of dollars are transferred, and all of that needs to be accurately and responsibly handled.
I would say that is really interesting to see. At the end of the day, the company I work with has customers, and those customers rely on us to make sure that everything we have told them, the terms and conditions, are satisfied.
I would just say that the satisfaction I get from seeing my work be out there is really fascinating, and I enjoy that part about being in my sprint.
