Meet Julia Craft. 💻⚙️🔧 Julia is one of the programmers at the State Comptroller’s office behind New York’s payroll system. She helps code and maintain the robust software that issues paychecks, financial statements and tax forms for nearly 300,000 state workers. Her team also provides after-hours support, keeping the system running smoothly, so public servants across the state are paid accurately and timely. We sat down with her to learn more about her work at the State Comptroller’s office. She shared that programming is more than just writing code. It’s critical thinking, problem solving, writing and researching. It’s working with diverse technologies: both cutting edge and time-tested. Julia finds revisiting old projects especially rewarding because she’s able to analyze and solve problems with a new set of technical experience and skill. Julia enjoys many aspects of her role, but for her, the best part of the job is collaborating with other members of the team. “I have daily opportunities to learn from folks who have decades of experience,” Julia says. “I work with some truly excellent people, including programmers, consultants, technical staff and analysts.” Julia’s role isn’t just coding software; she helps make a real difference for New Yorkers. When payroll and technical systems are efficient and compliant, so is financial health. Happy Programmers Day to Julia and all the programmers making a difference! The State Comptroller’s office is hiring! Join our team of dedicated public servants like Julia and do purposeful work to benefit New York.
