What I am doing now

Application development

For the last 3.5 years, I have worked as a systems quality engineer and an SDET. In 2025, I am looking to broaden my software engineering skills beyond quality engineering and into application development.

Java

I am almost done with the book 'Head First Java', which has helped me understand foundational concepts in Java such as inheritance, polymorphism, generic data types, streams, functional interfaces etc. The next step is to use some of this knowledge to build a game, and to contribute to some open-source tools that we use (Karate, Wiremock).

Gitlab

At the workplace, we moved our CI pipelines from Jenkins to Gitlab. It has been great fun to learn how this CI system works.

Chess

This year has rekindled my interest for chess. I will be digging deeper into some theory to improve my game.
