Walk us through your career path in ING Tech

I joined the Global Data Management team in ING Tech Romania three years ago to standardize and (help) build the future of Data Management.  As Business Analyst I have had the fortune to create our own ING language called ING Esperanto and it gave me the opportunity to interact with a wide variety of departments and people in the bank. From this role I have grown not only to that of Area Owner, but also to an ambassador of CDMO, as I’d provided multiple domains in their data delivery and standardization journey. 

How is Life @ ING Tech? (Especially from a learning experience point of view)

Live @ ING is what you make it out to be. It’s full of opportunities. All you need to do is be curious and eager to learn and you`ll get the support you need. It’s what I chose to do and I got to travel a lot and meet colleagues from all over the world, which was wonderful).

How would you explain your role of Feature Engineer to a 7-year-old?

In my role, I make sure that information is structured and easily understood by everyone, no matter the language or the alphabet they use.

If you were to recommend ING to a friend, what would you say about the organisation?

ING is the right organisation for you if you are keen on learning and on sometimes leaving your comfort zone to deal with adversity.

If you were to save the world with an app…

If an app is required to save the world, the world doesn’t need saving.

Let’s say you wrote your first SF book. What would be the title?

I know what you did last night!
