Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
Working on multiple different projects for an investment banking.
My duties are mostly around researching, presenting, designing, and maintaining pure software development projects, with a strong focus on programming and security.
The environment is fast paced and the learning curve is high, therefore I also perform internal training to understand the "concepts" of an investment banking and working for them as a part of a tech team.
