This is a submission for the 2025 New Year Writing challenge: Compiling 2025.

As we step into 2025, I’m excited to share my personal roadmap for the year—a mix of new skills, ambitious projects, and career aspirations. It’s all about diving deeper into Web3, building tools to empower developers, and evolving my professional journey.

New Skill: Embracing Web3

The buzz around Web3 continues to grow, and I believe 2025 will be its breakout year. To prepare, I’m delving headfirst into this transformative technology. My learning path includes mastering Solidity, exploring Move by Aptos, and diving into other Web3 tools and frameworks.

Web3 represents the future of decentralized applications, and I’m thrilled to align my skillset with this rapidly evolving space. The potential is limitless, and I can’t wait to see where this journey leads.

Side Projects: Building for the Community

Sepolia Faucet

One of my key projects is creating a Sepolia faucet where developers can purchase Sepolia tokens using INR. Currently, most faucets require 0.001 ETH on the mainnet—a barrier for newcomers just starting out.

By offering a more accessible solution, my goal is to fuel creativity and innovation. Developers will be able to acquire Sepolia ETH with a minimal amount of INR, allowing them to focus on building and experimenting with their dApps. This project isn’t just about simplifying access—it’s about empowering the next wave of Web3 creators.

Just a base sneak peek. Will be launching on 7th Jan, 2025.

Decentralized Identification (DeID)

Another project close to my heart is building dApps around Decentralized Identification (DeID). Our current identification systems are outdated and ill-equipped for the modern era, where data breaches are increasingly common.

Through DeID, I envision a system that allows individuals to securely verify their identity wherever they go, putting control back into the hands of the user. This project is a step toward a future where personal data is safe, accessible, and decentralized—a future I’m eager to help shape.

Career Aspirations: Shifting Focus to Smart Contracts

As a Full Stack Developer, I’ve had the opportunity to work across the technology spectrum, but this year, I’m pivoting toward a specialized path: Smart Contract Development.

My goal is to deepen my understanding of this crucial Web3 component and eventually transition into a dedicated role as a smart contract developer. This shift aligns perfectly with my passion for blockchain technology and the ever-expanding possibilities of decentralized solutions.

Looking Ahead

2025 is shaping up to be a pivotal year for me, full of learning, building, and growing. Whether it’s mastering new skills, developing impactful projects, or pursuing career aspirations, I’m excited for what lies ahead.

To all my fellow developers, dreamers, and innovators—let’s make 2025 a year to remember!
