Tell us about what you do at Afterpay
I work as a Software Engineer for the Merchant Experience team in Afterpay.
What does a typical day look like for you?
A typical day involves a lot of thinking. We are undergoing some transformation work applying the micro services pattern and there are many things to address – dependencies with other teams, code dependencies, release lifecycle, etc – and my day involves looking at all these things with the team and break down the work accordingly, ensuring that we can slowly build towards our vision.
Why do you love working at Afterpay?
I love it for two reasons:
- It gives me the ability to work from home and be close to my two young boys more often
- The ability to explore and apply new tech in a safe environment with prospect of adoption and growth
Tell us something about you
I love baking and cooking in general. Being at home during this pandemic has been really awesome at me sharpening those skills – specially when your living alarm clocks (kids) wake you up too early and you have no idea what to do with the time since you can’t really go back to sleep!
