Gamification: Gamifying the learning content is another great way to keep the audience engaged. Bi-weekly quizzes, along with a sco"

  • "Here's how I'd approach investing that $10 million over the next year and a half. The biggest chunk about $4 million would go straight into our core infrastructure because that's what everything else depends on. We're seeing massive demand for real-time payments, so I'd put $2.5 million into building instant settlement capabilities and integrating with FedNow and RTP rails. The remaining $1.5 million would beef up our platform scalability because we're hitting capacity limits during peak times,"
