Himanshu followed Agile methodologies and Test-Driven development (TDD) to deliver updates every 2 weeks. Himanshu's most recent work at Backbase involved working in the R&D division on a set of Android libraries which can be assembled by any bank operating in the Retail business space without writing extra code. These libraries provide customizable and user flows and are developed using Material design and Jetpack APIs. The most challenging aspect of his job role was to adopt abstract solutions for each iteration of the products that his team was owning because they delivered SDKs, not end-to-end applications. Another challenge was to collaborate with team members on multiple initiatives which honed his communication skills and drove him to think in terms of the layers of teams that were operating in the R&D space.
