July to September 2026
Tell us about yourself and your journey at 86400 so far.
I joined Mobileware in 2016 as a Junior Java Developer. The team had around 6 to 7 people then, with only 2 to 3 Java developers. Being there so early meant working closely with seniors, picking up responsibilities well beyond my role, and watching the organisation grow around me.
