2020 was rough year for everyone. I’m lucky I still have a job and super lucky that non of my family or friends had complications from the virus. I also can’t believe that I was able to achieve most of the commitments that I did to myself at the beginning of the year.

Typescript

First of all I wanted to learn about typescript and wanted to use that in some large scale application. For that I got a chance to implement that in the backend and in the frontend modules in tradeling.

React native

Everyone was talking about react native how easy it is to build android and iOS apps using JavaScript. That’s why I wanted to build something as I have experience with JavaScript. So here are links to the apps that I built.

All the apps are free. Check the links to try them.

Journal

Another commitment that I did to myself was to write about my experience with different technologies that I am using. So whenever I got a chance to write about something I wrote about it. This part I was not able to focus much as I had to leave my previous company and joined a new start up. So due to that I didn’t write much but here are links to my writings.
