What's your role?
I am a Senior Full Stack Developer at Harled. My role is to develop new features, conduct PRs, and ensure the team and I write high-quality code. On top of writing code, I am always looking for ways to improve the architecture of the application. Mentoring junior developers is particularly rewarding.
What is the secret to realizing a successful software project?
Having a deep understanding of the client's needs, listening carefully to client feedback, and presenting the best options to the client for each project feature. Also, pair programming with team members often to teach each other both development approaches and understanding of the project codebase.
What emerging technology or industry are you most interested in?
Of great interest to me is AI, algorithmic trading, and augmented reality.
What's your word of the day?
Humility. Ability to reflect on performance honestly and always strive to improve.
