My 2025 Coding Wrapped:

I started 2025 with a goal: Work on projects with impact. And this year, I'm glad to say that I did. It's one of the few "unseen" things (for lack of better term), that I wanted to achieve.

This year, I've shipped smart contracts used by 30k+ users. And counting! That alone is a huge personal feat for me. I still remember when I deployed my first smart contract to mainnet, and to think, that more than 30k+ users are now using the contracts I've wrote.

I've also been contributing to a protocol with $8M+ on-chain volume. This one is important to me, especially as a smart contract engineer. We all know how smart contracts make or break a protocol. Vulnerabilities can affect user funds, affect smart contract funds, etc. And obviously, that's the worst that can happen to a protocol. As a smart contract engineer contributing to a protcol with $8M+ on-chain volume, I can't help but feel proud about the result. Every line matters, especially when real value is on the line.

Lastly, one of the goals I've set in 2025 was to contribute more in open-source. And honestly, that's one of the things that's surpised me, because I didn't realize how much I love doing it. Contributing to open-source is one of the best things that I've been doing. Collaborating openly with other people, seeing other people contributing, and just connecting with like-minded people. I've learned so much just by doing this. And I do plan on doing more in 2026. (More on that later :) )

For some, this might seem small, but I want to acknowledge these milestones for myself. They're my progress, and they motivate me to keep doing more. To quote, Timothee Chalamet (MARTY SUPREME btw), "This doesn't signify that, but it's a little more fuel to keep going". In pursuit of trying to be the best version of what I can be, I'm happy of what I did in 2025. I'm hoping 2026 is better :)

And also, my honorable mentions:
