What a Year!

2025 has been a transformative year. From new projects to mentoring others to personal growth, there's so much to be grateful for.

Professional Highlights

  • Completed the ALX AI Starter Kit program
  • Mentored 5 aspiring developers
  • Launched 3 new projects through Nebatech
  • Spoke at 2 local tech meetups
  • Grew my professional network significantly

Technical Growth

  • Deepened my understanding of AI and machine learning
  • Improved my system design skills
  • Learned more about cloud infrastructure
  • Built more accessible and performant applications

Lessons Learned

  1. Consistency compounds – small daily improvements lead to big results
  2. Community matters – surround yourself with growth-minded people
  3. Teaching deepens understanding – share what you know
  4. Health is wealth – can't build anything if you're burned out

Looking Ahead to 2026

I'm excited about what's coming: new products, more mentorship, and continuing to grow as a developer and entrepreneur.

Thank you to everyone who's been part of this journey. Here's to an even better 2026!
