A day in the life

“I’m part of a team that produces mobile software primarily for advertising in national and international branding campaigns. A lot of what I do involves taking existing web services that were already developed for an advertising campaign and reshaping that data for mobile devices.

Often, first thing, there’ll be a status check-in on how projects are going, for anywhere from half an hour to an hour. Then, if I’m developing an active campaign, I usually work with my project manager to confirm that our application development is on track and matches up with our managed project portfolio form, which lays out where I should be at any given point.

I go back to my desk and set about frantically and eagerly coding my little heart out so I can produce something that a) fits my goals and b) satisfies me. Sometimes I write something that meets my goals but doesn’t satisfy my desire to do it in the most elegant way.

I alternate between implementing visual elements and a functional code base that makes those visual elements do magic. If I’ve met my goal successfully, you’ll have a fully immersive experience.”
