Today is Christmas. Merry Christmas to everyone. I took some time off to reflect on my year and look at how to make next year better.

Overall, it has been a thrilling and a fantastic year by the grace of God and I am grateful for all of God’s blessings this year.

I will just share a few highlights of the good stuff of my year in review.

As a person..

1. I grew more as a Christian spoke to a lot of people about Jesus Christ, became a role model/mentor/shepherd to other young people and supported the work of God in a lot of ways.

2. I finally figured out what I wanted to do and which direction my life would take.

3. I improved exponentially in all aspects of my life: I became a better-embedded systems engineer, better software developer, a better entrepreneur, better blogger and I developed good critical thinking skills.

4. I came to appreciate the importance of family, friendships and relationships and the importance of happiness and fulfilment.

5. I met a lot of amazing people and grew my network.

As an entrepreneur. ..

6. My startup, Invent Electronics grew bigger and made 5 times more revenue compared to 2016. (I am still not a millionaire yet though)

7. My startup, Wires & Bytes won MTN apps challenge, finally launched Pasco and started generating revenue.

8. I worked on two engineering research projects which were very successful and are going commercial now and I appeared on National television because of them.

9. I finally built a new personal website and published lots of great stuff including 2 ebooks. I also launched a pilot business consultancy project which went well.

10. I helped run a successful Project iSWEST Bootcamp and sparked up the spirit of innovation in several of the young people I met.

There have been a lot of downs too but overall it’s been a good year and I can’t wait for next year.

Merry Christmas!
