I was thinking lately on how this year went, realized that a ton of shit happened this year lmao and thought about writing a short summary on the major stuff that happened this year. so here it is:)

* * *

first side project.
-------------------

At the beginning of 2021, I found out about twitter. After seeing people build cool stuff there, I decided to start smthn on my own (I’ve been tinkering around with code a bit for about a year then).

So, I started working on a side project(it was called curiousfounders). ngl, it was extemely bad and cringe but still, I learned a ton of new and cool stuff I didn’t knew before.

After working on it for a few weeks, I paused it for while and started building working on a new project called [@saywasp](https://tom-grigory.super.site/previous-products/wasp). Was working on this with a couple of frens, it was pretty fun in the initial stage, but shit got toxic really quick. I left wasp after a while. wrote a lil thread on what happeded and stuff, you can find it [here](https://twitter.com/tomgrigory/status/1434172782628065281). After leaving wasp, I went on a break and came back with a fresh mind.

turning over a leaf and a new start.
------------------------------------

After I was back from the break, I realized that one of my weaknesses was code. so I went all in on relearning it. this period was like hitting refresh for me.

*   built a couple of mini side projects: [ship.css,](http://shipcss.tomgrigory.com/) [resume buildr](https://tom-grigory.super.site/actively-working-on/rsum-buildr), [jenny](https://tom-grigory.super.site/actively-working-on/jenny-project).
    
*   shipped a rad [twitter scheduling tool](https://twitter.com/usedivehq).
    
*   explored unity a bit.
    
*   worked at [@movingplatform](https://twitter.com/movingplatform), [@usedishhq](https://twitter.com/usedishhq)
    
*   got really exited about the web3 stuff and started playing around with it.
    
*   gave a small talk [@tinkerhub](https://instagram.com/tinkerhub) on web3 and NFTs. it went pretty well:)
    
*   also attended [@NFTkochi](https://twitter.com/NFTkochi) and met a lotta cool ppl

------------

my main goals for 2022 is to build max stuff, meet more cool ppl, read more(I procrastinated a bit too much on reading this year) and have fun.

so here are the main stuff im working on for the next couple of months

*   a solana project in the solana NFT space([@0xtbd6969](https://twitter.com/0xtbd6969) 👀). backed by [@superteamDAO](https://superteamDAO).
