What’s the connection between coding and golf?

The People Powering Our Tech is a video series featuring Mastercard employees who help fuel the company’s innovation. This time, we meet James Gallagher, a lead software engineer based in the company’s Dublin Tech Hub whose work helps banks detect fraudulent card transactions. Gallagher talks about his adopted hometown, the value of teamwork in a global company, and what golf teaches him about handling frustration — and finding hope: “You may hit a couple of bad shots, but there’s always the next hole.”
