What's your most successful project so far?

Well there's tvflix.co & appydev.co, I tried sponsors & ads, didn't work as expected.

Found a unusual way of monetising them, I sell the source code of these projects.

Finding a good balance between learning for work and enjoying hobbies outside of tech.

Build community both in my day to day work and outside of work.

Make enough money to take care of my family, help out friends and give generously to strangers.

Within the next year or 2, I would like to put out a few more courses and write an ebook.

Write a novel. I have already started and gradually working on the story. If it goes well, I would like to make short storybooks for kids with drawings that carry timeless lessons.

At the same time, I want to keep improving as an engineer and learn more about natural language processing.

More than all, I want to tour with a conference-concert where I talk about Gwion, the use of machine learning algorithms in music and play/improvise some stuff (be it guitar, violin or voice).

I'd also like to lead a power trio where we can play some (probably more simple) tunes of mines.

Of course, I'd like to get more success with my current bands (by success, I just mean getting more gigs, I don't mind the fame 😄).

Last but not least, I wish Gwion can have a team for it's development and the community it deserves.
