Taking a look at the year 2018.

The year was good from many aspects, some successes and some failures, overall lots of learning and growth.

Wrote my first book. Thanks Packt Publications for the opportunity.

Wrote around 9 blogs in my medium channel. Medium stats show that I have more than 6000 views and around 338 followers in the month of December. Thanks for all the readers for reading my posts and all of my followers. I will work towards providing more value to you in the coming year.

2018 was another big year for me where I created my YouTube channel. My channel will primarily be about experiments in my interests which are AI and machine learning, data engineering and better programming in general. Right now I have 22 videos and planning to have around 2 videos per week.

Another huge thing for me was the hack session in the datahack summit 2018. Thanks to analyticsvidhya for the opportunity and thanks to all those who attended the session.

Sadly I had to shutdown my podcast flawcode.com due to cost and huge amount of time investment that it was turning out to me. It was fun while it lasted. Thanks Sherin Thomas for supporting me throughout in this.

A venture with mixed results was in the teaching field. Tried becoming an offline mentor for better part of the year, but the results that I was generating was not in line with the time investment.

All in all the year was amazing. Huge thanks to my workplace Nineleaps and my family, esp. my wife.

So 2019?

Aim of 2019 is to work harder and create better content. I would also like to explore more approaches to reaching out and providing value to more people.

If there is any way that I can help you and you have been thinking of reaching out to me, you can always message me directly and ask me.

Together we are more than the sum of the parts.

Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas and an prosperous New Year.
