This year has brought me a sense of stability in term of work and family. One of the most memorable events of 2024 was my trip to Vietnam.

After living in Canada for 6 years, I finally visited my family. I felt reconnection when I had a chance to meet many people that I had nearly forgotten about. Also, I witnessed how much had changed in my home country from buildings, road and people.

2024 also brought me many moments when I see my former coworkers and friends lose their job, that made me question myself about stability and resilience.

From coding perspectives, I have done a lot. I publicly launched 2 new projects using Next.js. One of them is a SaaS project, which taught me about valuable lessons about database design, user features, and challenges when develops SaaS product. The other is a simpler web application designed for my sister business.

Here are some highlights:

• Travel to Vietnam
• Launched 2 projects
• Moved to new city and new apartment
