Look Back 2022 and Looking Forward 2023

So, we have reached almost the end of 2022. It is the time when I look back to my times. Realize my deeds, analyze what I have done past, reflect on the learnings, set new targets, and make plans for them.

First off, I would like to thank God for keeping me and my family safe and sound and giving me the energy to work even harder. At beginning of 2022, I just prayed to have a good year. After a long work from home from 2020-March to 2022-May, the work from office resumes. I missed my desk, the meeting room, the cafeteria, the team dinner, team activities, the short break tea, and many more things.


Professionally my 2022 has gone pretty well. In 2022 -

  1. My very first achievement of 2022 is, I stopped complaining and start acting. I started seeing opportunities everywhere after then.

  2. Before 2022, I was unsure about QA and what I am doing with my career. Due to bullet #1, I learned to accept what I am doing. And I am able to point out more opportunities/options in my career.

  3. I got some opportunities to work on some interesting automation and development projects that I have never done before. Those projects pushes my limit and learned me to organize my deliverables.

  4. Professionally I was promoted to Lead Engineer and managed a small team.

  5. I got a chance to contribute to Samsung's innovation culture which ended up innovating an idea and patenting it.

  6. I started going to the temple every Saturday to find the ultimate peace of my mind. Became more interested in spirituality.

  7. I became continuous in problem-solving and learning algorithms. Till now the daily streak is around 236.

  8. I did some pet projects on different topics.

  9. I became frugal in spending. I learned to calculate the need for an item for which I am craving.

  10. I became productive. I have realized and learned how to make my day productive and how to manage time.

  11. I started reading newsletters and blogs and listening to podcasts which became my almost everyday entertainment.

  12. I started investing time which feels me more productive. I started writing blogs in my free time.


Personally, In 2022 -

  1. I tried to take on more responsibilities for my family.

  2. I tried to develop my personality in several areas.

  3. I tried to manage tasks in a better-organized way.

  4. I tried to resolve personal issues with my partner.

  5. I tried to support my friends and well-wishers whenever needed.

  6. I started doing regular Gym lately. Yet I am enjoying it.


Looking back on 2022, it was a win-win year for me. Looking forward to 2023. I will start my year with the blessings of all my well-wishers. I believe the blessings with my hard work and efforts can bring miracles to my life. With the habits, I built in 2022 and with the work I have done in 2022 I wish to add even more dimensions in my life.


So, professionally In 2023 -

  1. I would like to continue the Stop Complaining and Start Acting attitude.

  2. I want to continue my career mostly as an Automation Engineer for some years. But I am always ready to be exposed to core development engineering.

  3. I want to be a part of the most interesting projects in my SQE lab.

  4. I want to start working on Machine Learning and AI technologies officially. And I want to be an active contributor to this section.

  5. I want to contribute to at least 2 patents under the banner of Samsung Electronics.

  6. Within Q-1 of 2023, I would like to complete a new pet project. And during 2023, I would like to complete at least 4 pet projects each quarter.

  7. Within the 1H of 2023, I would like to pass the ISTQB CTFL certification exam.

  8. I am planning to explore 1 content/blog on Software QA and Automation methodologies per 3 days. Within 2023, I would like to read/explore at least 100 of them.

  9. And by the end of 2023, I want to see myself as a strong candidate in QA and Automation domain expert.

  10. I want to continue problem-solving and learning algorithms on daily basis.

  11. I want to manage a small team as I did in 2022.

  12. I want to actively contribute to Opensource Community. At least want to participate in Hactoberfest 2023.


And personally in 2023 -

  1. I will develop my personality in an exponential ratio.

  2. I will try to learn even better time management.

  3. I would like to change my relationship status.

  4. I would like to start a side hustle.

  5. I will continue doing gym and reduce my weight.


So, that is all for my new year's resolution. I wish to analyze my learnings and implement them work in the coming days. I wish to complete all my 2023 goals succesfully. May the Almighty and my well-wisher bless me.
