Imposter syndrome is common among IT professionals, and I'm no exception. The constant feeling of inadequacy and self-doubt plagues me.

Initially, my role focused on frontend web development using JavaScript. However, upon being assigned to a fintech project, I became the principal Android app developer. Although I've submitted rigorously-tested, high-quality code, the fear persists: what if my colleagues discover that I'm not the most knowledgeable expert?
