Neovim is a Vim-based text editor engineered for extensibility and usability, to encourage new applications and contributions.

• I decided to start learning Neovim because it's a terminal-based code editor and IDE that's highly efficient and customizable. It allows me to work without any distracting features. With its increasing popularity in the community, I thought it would be a good idea to try it out.

Recently, I've started my own YouTube channel where I'm uploading tutorial videos. While making these videos, I realized that I need to learn Premiere Pro and Adobe Audition for better video production.

• Before starting the video recording, I learned the basics of Adobe Premiere Pro. Later, when working on voiceovers, I realized that I needed to learn Adobe Audition for voice editing.
• After a few days of working in Premiere Pro, I realized that certain tasks could be done more efficiently in Adobe After Effects. Since then, I've been learning and mastering these tools. As a complementary support, I found Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator to be helpful due to my prior knowledge of them.

I recently decided to make my own home server using an old PC. It all started because I had some spare hard drives (HDD) lying around, and I wanted to create a secure storage solution using RAID and Nextcloud to keep my data safe from loss.

• Initially, I began by exploring various operating systems suitable for the purpose.I experimented with Windows and Ubuntu Server but encountered limitations that didn't align with my needs.
• After thorough research, I opted for Proxmox, a type 1 hypervisor OS, due to its flexibility in hardware allocation for virtual machines and containers.
• Working with Proxmox was a new and enlightening experience, introducing me to concepts like storage RAID and efficient management of resources.
• After installing Proxmox, I created a RAID-1 with two of my hard drives, ensuring redundancy for added data safety. I chose to leave the other two drives unraided, reserving them for media storage and OS installation purposes.
• Delving deeper, I explored various functionalities including storage sharing through OpenMediaVault, setting up media servers using Jellyfin and Plex, and creating storage solutions with Nextcloud.
• This project also boosted my knowledge of Linux, networking, and working with containers.

In my recent role as a team lead for a startup company, I was tasked with finding an effective project management tool to enhance our workflow. I had no prior experience with Jira, a widely used project management tool. In response, I took the initiative to learn Agile Scrum methodology on Jira and how to effectively manage projects using this platform.

• I delved into understanding Agile principles and the Scrum framework, gaining insights into how to organize and manage our team's tasks and sprints efficiently.
• Learning to use Jira as an Agile project management tool was a new and enriching experience. I grasped concepts such as backlog management, sprint planning, user story mapping, and sprint reviews.
• Implementing Agile Scrum practices on Jira significantly improved our project's organization, collaboration, and overall productivity. It allowed us to adapt quickly to changes and deliver high-quality results in a timely manner."

Continuously, I explore various libraries and technologies related to my programming skills. Here are a few things I've recently learned:

• RabbitMQ: RabbitMQ is a message broker service which I've learnt recently using the .NET/C# Client.
• Problem Solving: I've started solving programming problems on platforms like LeetCode and HackerRank to enhance my programming skills.
