I did help create 2 weeks of Stripe Reports to make sure that there was not a gap in the reports. I had to help encode and decode emails to clients so that the messages that were sent out were stored in the database and when the messages were extracted from the database, I had to make sure that the characters were encoded correctly. For example, turning smart quotes into regular quotes.
