Android Project Experience

October 2022 – Current

Android Developer/ JP Morgan & Chase, Manhattan, New York (NY)

Worked in an agile environment, and was broken up into 2 week sprints, that required us to point our work so 3 points for example is a 2 day task.

Led a team of 5 people 2 android developers 2 iOS developers and our project manager.

Reported our task each morning, and update our manager on where we are in the task and any problems we could be facing with the task.

Worked very closely with the team. Usually iOS and android will be working on the same features just different platforms so there is a lot of communication on how best to approach situations within the team.

Worked on a code which was required to be reviewed by others before it was merged into the main branch.

Communicated mainly through email, but JPMC also had an application named Symphony they used for day to day conversations. It is an instant message application that allows us to share thoughts and concerns throughout the day, and reach other people in other teams quickly if we need to.

This project required communication between the people in your team, as well as communication between people outside of your time. The multiple frameworks JPMC works in requires you to be familiar with the whole application and that is why the communication between other teams is important, so you can better understand what you are working on, and provide the required results based on the feedback from the team that may own that framework.

JMPC chase required you to use only their issued laptop for project related work and you had to use an authentication application to get a code to login to things such as email zoom, or their Jira board. Some other tools that were used were Jenkins, and they used bitbucket as their version control tool.

Major victories included working on the video player as well as creating some accessibility features for talk back. The major challenges for me were using RxAndroid, and creating unit tests for the features I created. Some of the work at JPMC is very complex and the unit test can sometimes be just as complete when you are trying to mock certain situations.
