I'm in my final year (and semester) of university now. I've accepted an offer to work for a startup in Bangalore and I'll be moving there soon.

In 2021, among many other things I:

- Started learning French seriously
- Joined IRC (shout out to [DarkScience](https://www.darkscience.net/))
- Created #f1 on [Libera.Chat](https://libera.chat/)
- Met some fantastic folks IRL from Telegram
- Interviewed 7 times
- Worked in an office (albeit only for a week)
- Wrote 4 blog posts

2021 will probably be the most impactful year of my life. My theme for 2022 will be _"The Year of Less"_. I'm excited to move out, meet new people and build something incredible.
