How last year changed me for better, my 2019 review

2019 was the first time when I have decided to work hard to take control of the flow of my career. It was tiring but it couldn't be better.

2019 Timeline

1. I have started the year on a high note by joining LiveCareer as Software Engineer for their Data Services team.
2. After joining LiveCareer, I have decided to learn Angular and started the second round of 100DaysOfCode. Along with Angular, I also learn Firebase and TypeScript.
3. After that, I needed to learn more about JavaScript and Web Design, so I started with the Web Design and JavaScript Certificates from FreeCodeCamp and completed both the certificates. The whole journey was very fruitful and helped me a lot at my work.
4. Started the Wesbos 30 Days of JavaScript challenge but it took me around 45 days to complete it.
5. Started learning CSS Flexbox and created a web application.

Hacktoberfest

This time it was my second participation in Hacktoberfest and I was more excited than last time. But the best thing which happened this time is, I was able actually to help other devs by reviewing, providing feedback and merging their PRs

@hacktoberfest has been an amazing experience for me.

Last year I send my first ever PR to any of the OSS projects.

And this year I reviewed and merged the first-ever PR to one of my repo.

Isn't it amazing what a year can do to you🙌❤️

One of the best moment of 2019 was when I merged the first-ever PR to one of my repo and received a warm message.
