My 2023 in review

Hi, you all, this is my very first time writing this kind of post. So, I want to say how was my 2023 in context of tech content, speaking sessions and my tech career in general.

I can summarize it like this:

• 24 speaking sessions
• 5 videos in my Youtube channel
• 3 KCDs
• 15 Working sessions for our Cloud Native Group.

I also participated in working sessions and created content in:

• 2 tags tag-environmental-sustainability, we were part of the sustainability week and for higher-ed (a future TAG), just participating to build something around university contents.

I participated in the several events or groups:

• Cloud Native Guatemala Chapter
• Cloud Native Amsterdam
• KCD Colombia
• KCD El Salvador
• KCD Guatemala
• Civo Navigate NA, Tampa
• Civo Navigate Europe, London
• KubeConNA, Chicago
• Sustainability Week Guatemala

My best moments in the year:

• I was selected to be a CNCF Ambassador after serveral years
• Hosted an in-person KCD with my students
• Talked with Bart Farrel about life and things
• Talked with Cortney Nickerson at KubeConNA, Chicago
• Talked with Ramiro Berrelleza in different events
• Christmas breakfast with Cloud Native Guatemala Chapter organizers
• Funny moments with Alessadro Civo, Dario Trankitela
• Met in person Kunal Kushwaha
• Shared in the KCD boot in the KCD about Guatemala in KubeConNA, Chicago
• In deep conversation about life with Tiffany Jatcha

The event and moment I loved the most was Cloud Native Amsterdam.

Also, I learned from Bart Farrel, that you are not alone when you have problems, your friends support you, also I have a lot of friends in the ecosystem that loves me.

Now, this year 2024, for me is the year to thing about me, grow up, and explore new things, I want to try to create content by myself, I mean, be my own brand, like a kind of DevRel. I will take the advice of a close friend of mine, that said me about build a community around me. I will try, let's see if I can build that community.

Finally, I want to visit Europe again to be in other events. If I am lucky I would like to be in Japan, but first I have to build that dream, let's see if the happens.

I have a lot of pending videos to upload from 2023, a lot of content coming. So, that was my 2023 in review, what about yours? any 2024 resolutions?
