2022 New Year's Resolution

It's been two years since to write a blog post. (I slacked this off last year..)

Review of 2021

I didn't declare a resolution so will try to look back what I did last year.

Work

It was the busiest year in my work life last year. I've been leading three development projects(BM/DH, NFV, DB) + α in parallel. I have worked so hard that I could only take off almost one day a week.

  • Completed a launch of a new region (JP7) in Smart Data Platform
    • I've been working as a project manager for this big project.
  • Decided the direction of Baremetal / Dedicated Hypervisor service
  • Started / Continued to develop new services (NFV, DB)
  • Started HR-related work in my dept.
  • Recruitment (as usual)

I'm relieved that we're done with the jp7 release, but last year was generally a year of sowing seeds. My team has grown to 11 by adding 4 people (including employees, contractors) last year. I have to fulfill my duty which means that I have to release new services and get them on track somehow. This year will be tougher than the last year.

And I also renew my working environment so that I can work from home comfortably - buying a working desk and an ultra-wide monitor.

Private

Major events

  • My daughter started taking English classes.
  • Adopted a dog from a shelter
  • Pulled out a (left lower) wisdom tooth
  • Resumed to looking for our new house. (I didn't do this last year at all..)

Trips

Others

I couldn't spend time for my family than I expected as usual.
