Why the Fed? |
| I was looking for a job where innovation would be valued and where I would be able to further develop professionally. I found a great fit in the Advanced Technology Center, a small group within the Bank’s IT department. Not only was the job interesting, but the benefits package was great. I was especially attracted by the Tuition Assistance Program the Fed offers to employees wanting to pursue further education. |
My Responsibilities |
| My responsibilities include identifying and introducing new technologies to the Bank. I develop pilot projects and prototypes using new technologies that promise to become valuable for various applications. Some of the prototypes I’ve worked on revolved around real-time data visualization, formal XML extensions, and mobile applications. |
Challenges and Rewards of My Job |
| I am frequently called upon to quickly become proficient in unfamiliar technologies, and then to transfer that knowledge to other developers. I enjoy these challenges and I am rewarded with the opportunity to constantly learn new things and work on interesting projects. |
| How Is the Fed Unique? |
| Despite being large and geographically distributed, the Fed is a well-connected community. Employees know each other and work closely together across departments and districts. |
