Journey

Just hit another milestone after buying a house. I'm super excited and totally in love with my very first car. It feels like the culmination of years of hard work.

After leading the migration of our legacy monolith to a microservices architecture, I was promoted to Senior Engineer. Now mentoring three juniors and overseeing the architectural decisions for the core product.

Spent weekends and nights building a developer productivity tool. Launched on Product Hunt and got #3 Product of the Day. It's now generating steady MRR and helping 500+ devs manage their workflows.

Overcame my fear of public speaking and gave a talk on 'Optimizing Next.js for High Traffic Applications'. Met amazing people and learned so much from the community.

Finally put down roots! It's a fixer-upper, but it has a perfect space for a home office. Let the renovation projects begin.

Made my first significant open source contribution. Fixed a complex accessibility bug in the Combobox component. The feeling of seeing my PR merged was unmatched.

Earned my Bachelor of Science in Computer Science. It was a long road with lots of coffee and late-night coding sessions, but I made lifelong friends.

Wrote my very first line of JavaScript. I built a simple To-Do app that didn't even save data, but it sparked a curiosity that hasn't faded since.
