Now that it is solidly fall in Vancouver I thought I would mimic all the trees around here and shed some leaves in preparation for new things. First up, change of season haircut, but after that, there are a bunch of things professionally that I want to change. The main theme being immersing myself in the tech community and deepening my technical knowledge. So here we are, my professional goals for the next year:
Build Technical Confidence
- Write (or participate in writing) a tech spec for each mid sized project I work on (larger than 1 week)
- Find 3 areas of the product (product == Thinkific) to improve and investigate possible solutions
- Present a lunch and learn on a technical topic
Get More Involved in Tech Community
- Attend 1 meet up every 2 months
- Commit to participating in mentorship outside of Thinkific (either as a mentor or mentee)
Increase Technical Expertise
- Read 1 technical article a day and write a short summary paragraph on it
- Complete 1 short course every month (less than 5 hours)
Thats it! Time to get readingβ¦
