Day-to-day tasks include collaborating with team members in Agile meetings, writing and debugging code, participating in code reviews, and documenting processes. I also help with troubleshooting issues, testing new features, and learning about deployment processes, such as using CI/CD pipelines. Additionally, I engage in learning sessions to deepen my understanding of technologies used by the team.
