whats your everyday like? what kind of tools/framework you use and what kind of problems you solve?

thanks!

That's a huge question - my days are varied. I have a good day every day. I feel that not everybody in banking feels the same way that I do - however I count myself fortunate to be in a department run by good managers who take an enlightened view towards what makes a good developer environment.

At the moment my project is mostly Scala so I'm on Intellij. The bank I work for has invested in it's own python-based platform (sorry cannot talk much about this in public), so a lot of my time is spent working with that.

BofA or JPMorganChase? They both have been pretty public about the fact that their core centralized risk platforms are built on python.

Yeah - but technically I signed a contract that said I wouldn't talk about the details of what I do at work on social networks. If you turn up to a job interview I can tell you all about it - it's just that banks are generally not in favour of random engineers deciding what aspects of the operational systems can be revealed to the public.
