Hello how are you? Congratulations on the video, I'm from Brazil and I work in Information Security. I would like to know what your day-to-day life is like with the projects there, and how you deal with security controls on the front-end and back-end. Do you have a security team that supports you?
Hi Magdeline, thank you for sharing. I work majorly on frontend side, with little backend experience. I see many jobs in NZ required both frontend and backend skills. Do I suit for these full-stack job?

Hmm if you want to apply for full-stack jobs, I think it's best if you can brush up on your backend skills so you can stand a better chance! Good luck :)

How big is the team? I did my first year of experience in software development and it was a 2 person team. How often do you complete tasks too? its interesting seeing someone doing so well in a similar situation to what I was in

Hello! My team is around 4 - 5 ppl, but the entire Engineering department is around 30 people. In terms of tasks, the features are broken down into sprints and tickets. How long it takes to complete a ticket depends on the ticket itself. Thanks for your nice comment! We're all on this journey together 😄

I really do not understand what is the purpose of these "A day in the life of a..." videos. I mean what's the content creator looking for in such videos? To educate anything at all or just to show flaunt that lifestyle and get likes from kids who call themselves "aspiring engineers"
