We design and develop SDKs which serve as the foundation for our customer's banking application. These SDKs are available to our customers using Banking-as-a-service subscription model.
We deliver UX flows which are common across banking domain after doing extensive user research.
We follow Agile methodologies and Test-Driven development (TDD) to deliver updates every 2 weeks.
I am currently working in the R&D division on a set of Android libraries which can be assembled by any bank operating in Retail business space without writing extra code. These libraries provide customizable and user flows and are developed using Material design and Jetpack APIs.
The most challenging aspect of my job role is to adopt abstract solutions for each iteration of the products that my team is owning because we deliver SDKs not end-to-end applications.
Another challenge is to collaborate with team member on multiple initiatives which hones my communication skill and drives me to think in terms of the layers of teams that are operating in RnD space.
