From YouTube: A Day in the Life of a Software Engineer in Fintech

Description

This is a glimpse of a day in the life of a Software Engineer in Fintech.

Definition of Fintech from Oxford Languages:
"Computer programs and other technology used to support or enable banking and financial services"

My typical day starts with a workout and coffee like most people.

I go through my workday and what it can possibly consist of in the workplace.

I briefly touch on some software concepts and methodologies.

Enjoy!

P.S. This is my first YouTube Video :)
