Summary of important things that I did in year 2019
Due to procrastination I delayed my sum-up for year 2019 till May 2020, but here I’m.
- One health issue solved.
- I started to do Yoga.
- I reduced my weight from ~105 kg to <= 95 kg.
- We travelled to the Khao Kho and Nam Nao in Thailand by car.
- We travelled to Japan and I drove a rental car in Japan :)
- I travelled to Vietnam so +2 new countries this year.
- I bought a bigger car for us to travel.
- and we travelled to Krabi on it.
- Our familty (will) have +1 baby in 2020 bringing babies amount up to 2 :)
Most interesting/inspiring people I met during 2019 years:
- Pedro Pereira - Technical leader, Head of Engineering in PropertyGuru Group. I would like to learn from him how to be a open, easy going person that unite, motivate and lead people to common goals. That’s a leader that I would like to become.
- Alexey Diomin - Principal engineer in Agoda. Thanks to getting know him I saw that you can be good in programming, DevOps and system administration. You can dig deep to the Linux kernel and know your systems from perspecive of a software developer and DevOps engineer. That’s an engineer and professional that I would like to become.
New hobby this year:
- Yoga with DownDog app.
- Learning Thai language with Drops app.
Two might-have-been dream in this year:
