1**Daily Standup Meeting**: Your day might start with a quick meeting with your team where everyone shares their progress, plans for the day, and any issues they are facing.

2. **Checking Emails and Updates**: After the meeting, you might check your emails to see if there are any new production tickets or updates from stakeholders.

3. **Working on Planned Tasks**: Most of your day will be spent on planned work, which could involve coding new features, debugging issues, or refactoring existing code to improve its performance or readability.

4. **Handling Production Tickets**: Throughout the day, there may be production issues that require your immediate attention. This could be anything from a minor bug that's bothering a user to a critical issue that's causing a major outage.

5. **Collaboration with Stakeholders**: As part of your job, you will regularly interact with stakeholders such as Product Managers and UX Designers. These interactions could involve discussing new features, reviewing designs, or addressing any concerns or feedback they have.

6. **Code Review**: You may also spend some time reviewing code submitted by your peers. This can help ensure the quality and consistency of the codebase.
