One Year of Writing: Reflections, Growth, and the Road Ahead

One year ago, on February 19, 2024, I published my first AI Buddy blog post. It was simple—just a starting point, more of an experiment than a statement. At the time, I wasn’t sure where this journey would lead, but I knew one thing: writing forces clarity.

Over the past year, this blog has become more than just a collection of thoughts. It’s been a space to explore ideas, challenge assumptions, and document the evolving landscape of AI, engineering, and strategy. Looking back, I can see how much has changed—not just in the world of technology, but in my own thinking. I feel like I’m pushing the boundaries of thought, sensing the need to discuss topics just as they become relevant to the larger community.

Growth in Writing, Thinking, and Direction

Writing regularly has a way of revealing patterns in thought. What started as occasional posts on AI and engineering has turned into a broader exploration of AI literacy, strategy, and the hidden challenges of working with AI in real-world applications. Each post has pushed me to refine my ideas, forcing me to articulate concepts that might otherwise remain vague.

Beyond writing, this year has been about action—building projects, engaging in deep conversations, and pushing forward in areas that matter. From technical deep dives to AI governance discussions, I’ve found that the more I write, the more I engage with others who share similar interests. Writing has become a tool not just for thinking, but for connection.

Looking Forward: The Next Year

As I look ahead, the next chapter of this journey is clear: turning these insights into a three-part book series called Navigating AI. This series will cover everything from AI literacy for knowledge workers, to engineering agent based systems, to executive strategy - all while leveraging GenAI as a force multiplier for teams.

This blog has laid the groundwork, and now it’s time to dive deeper. Expect more explorations of how GenAI is reshaping work, more reflections on building with GenAI, and more practical insights into harnessing GenAI’s potential at every level.

If the past year has taught me anything, it’s that writing isn’t just about documenting what I already know—it’s about pushing myself to see what I haven’t yet considered. To those who have been reading along the way—thank you. Here’s to another year of thinking, building, and exploring what’s next.
