Proud Moments

My most proud moment this year was participating as a speaker in an international event here in Latin America called Nerdearla.

And what makes it so special for me is that I've always felt really anxious about public speaking, I barely started giving talks this year, so this was a HUGE thing for me 😊

DEV Contributions

I actually started being more active in dev.to this year by starting to write articles 🙂 I always thought you needed to be an expert at something to write about it, but that's totally not the case.

I haven't written a new article in a few months though (I blame life (?)) 😅 I hope to to start again in January.

Brilliant Fails

My most significant challenge was to get over my introvert self. There was also a time this year where I felt a little stuck in my dev career, I felt I lacked motivation to continue, or maybe it was the uncertainty of not knowing how to keep growing.

But thanks to my mentor and some friends I was able to get over all that 💜

Celebrate the Numbers

Not bad for my first year writing some posts 😄

Shoutouts

I'd specially like to give a shoutout to the JavaScript Chile community whose members have helped me a lot through my development journey this year 🥰

Future Goals

My goals for next year are giving more international talks, maybe my first talk in english 👀🙈 Another goal is to write at least a blog post every 1 or 2 months. And finally to continue to grow as a developer and helping others to grow as well by participating in the community 💜

What Does DEV Means to You?

Even though I barely started writing articles last year, I've been in DEV since starting my tech career a little over 4 years ago. I remember reading articles on my phone while going to work on the subway.

For me, DEV is an awesome place where I can share my knowledge and also learn from others 💜
