Hello!
I’m Priyesh and I’m an engineer here at Monzo. This week has been super busy; here are some things I’ve been working on:
- Working on our upcoming crowdfunding round . As you may have noticed from our roadmap, we’re doing things a bit differently this time . Keep your eyes peeled for more details about this .
- Reducing common customer support queries . Lots of customers get in touch for PIN reminders and to change their address. Viewing your PIN via Touch ID was the first step to productising these common requests, and we’re now working on some further improvements.
- Optimising our backend: a bit of spring cleaning to shave some precious milliseconds off of the requests our mobile apps make.
- Kicked off the work for profile pictures . We’ve received lots of requests for this one, perhaps @hugo will show you a sneak peek of what this will look like?
- Thinking about the details surrounding identity verification for our upcoming current accounts .
- This week we’ve also been busy completing self-assessments and peer reviews for one another . Feedback and development is really important at Monzo, so we put lots of effort into this process.
For the next update, I nominate @tomd. In the mean time, have a great weekend!
