What I'm doing
Recently, I:
- Built two of the most ambitious projects of my life:
- Almabond: One central platform for every connection and everything happening at a university for students, staff, faculty, and alumni. Kind of old-school facebook but even better because everything else (students clubs to events to elections to forms to offices to resources) can live here too.
- Manan: An app that I myself wanted for long. Goal is to be able to take notes via typing or voice, on my phone, my ipad, my mac, and even my apple watch, and have all that data be stored locally on my device and not on some company's servers. Everything syncs using iCloud and is end to end encrypted so only you can access your data. And it is all FREE and with no tracking or account whatsoever.
- Learned that people in higher positions in a company don't care about features, but about the vision. And yet the clearly better product is not always the one that is adopted. It is sad but true.
- Got paired with an amazing person as my mentor. Excited for the learning journey ahead.
- Cut my own hair for the first time. It was (almost) a disaster but I survived.
Now, I am:
- Trying to figure out where I should focus my limited time and energy.
- Trying to clear my to-do list. It had been overtaken by these exciting projects I was working on.
- Thinking about making some more casual YouTube videos. Those would be nice to put out, without any pressure of monetizing the channel. Subscribe.
