This is a submission for the 2025 New Year Writing challenge: Compiling 2025.
As we step into 2025, I find myself reflecting on the lessons and achievements of the past year. 2024 was a year of immense growth for me, both personally and professionally. I firmly believe that learning, much like CI/CD in software development, should be continuous process that drives us forward. With that mindset, I’m excited to outline my roadmap for 2025, a year that I plan to fill with aspirations, challenges, and growth opportunities.
Academic Milestone: Writing My Thesis
First and foremost, 2025 marks the final chapter of my bachelor’s degree journey. One of my primary goals is to complete my thesis, which centers around my final year project, PrintHub. This project has been a passion project for me, blending creativity and entrepreneurship, and I hope to use it as a stepping stone for what lies ahead.
Career Aspirations: Internships and Global Opportunities
Once my thesis is complete, I plan to actively search for internships or job opportunities that align with my interests. My ultimate goal is to pursue a master’s degree in Artificial Intelligence, ideally in Canada or Australia. Both countries offer excellent educational opportunities and vibrant tech ecosystems that could propel my career forward. I’ll be exploring scholarships and networking opportunities to make this dream a reality.
Skills to Master: Diving Deeper into AI
Artificial Intelligence has been a cornerstone of my learning journey over the past year, and I’m determined to take it even further in 2025. Here are the specific areas I want to focus on:
- Fine-Tuning AI Models: Understanding the intricacies of fine-tuning pre-trained models to solve domain-specific problems.
- Frameworks: Diving into TensorFlow and other essential frameworks for AI development.
- Agentic AI: Continuing my exploration of agentic AI through frameworks like AutoGen and LangGraph. I’ve been experimenting with these tools, and my goal is to build functional, real-world AI agents by the end of the year.
Development Goals: Expanding My Tech Stack
In addition to AI, I’m passionate about development. Here’s how I plan to broaden my expertise:
- Frontend for Mobile Apps: Transitioning my React and Next.js skills into mobile app development by learning React Native. With a solid foundation in React, I’m confident this will be a smooth transition.
- Hackathons and Competitions: Participating in hackathons and coding competitions to sharpen my problem-solving skills and collaborate with other talented developers.
Learning isn’t confined to technical skills alone. I want to grow holistically by exploring new ideas, embracing challenges, and seeking feedback. Whether it’s through online courses, books, or hands-on projects, my commitment to continuous learning remains unwavering.
2025 is shaping up to be a pivotal year in my journey. From academic milestones to career aspirations and skill-building, I’m excited to tackle everything this year has to offer. By staying curious and determined, I’m confident I can compile a successful 2025.
