Year in Review - 2024

As 2024 comes to an end, I’m excited to share some personal achievements and milestones from this year.

Blog Upgrade

My blog was upgraded to the 11ty framework. This change improved performance and simplified content management.

Professional Certifications

I earned the SAFe Certified Scrum Master certification in January 2024. In June, I achieved the Microsoft Fabric Analytics Engineer certification, marking progress in my focus on Azure and Fabric Analytics.These certifications have equipped me with valuable knowledge to deliver impactful solutions in my roles.

Career Milestone

After around 10 years of association with American Express as a consultant, I began a new role in June 2024 as a Scrum Master and Technical Project Management consultant with FCB. This transition marks a significant milestone in my career, allowing me to apply my expertise in a dynamic and collaborative environment.

Home Automation Journey

This year, I delved deeper into the home automation using Home Assistant. Starting with simple automations like scheduling lights and temperature adjustments, I quickly progressed to more advanced setups, integrating various devices for seamless functionality. To share my learning, I’ve documented examples of these setups on my GitHub - https://github.com/Akbarsait/smarthome-assistant.

As I look back, 2024 has been a year of growth, learning, and new achievements. I am excited to carry this momentum into 2025 and explore new opportunities for personal and professional development.
