Reflecting on My 2024 Performance Goals 🔎
One of the things I truly appreciate about performance reviews is the structured opportunity to reflect on personal growth. Setting clear goals helped me stay focused, and looking back, I’m happy with the progress I’ve made toward the three key goals I set for 2024!
🎯 Goal: Leading Projects to Timely Completion
Delivering quality software isn’t just about coding—it’s about ownership, collaboration, and problem-solving. One of my goal was to lead high-impact projects/features, ensuring timely delivery while maintaining quality.
This year, I:
- ✅ Took ownership of multiple subprojects and features, ensuring timely delivery and smooth execution.
- ✅ Delivered business-critical improvements, including payment gateway integrations and API architecture enhancements.
- ✅ Proactively addressed challenges while keeping stakeholders informed.
📚 Goal: Continuous Learning & Skill Development
Staying ahead in tech requires continuous learning. As such, I committed a substantial amount of time to upskilling through courses, certifications, and hands-on work.
This year, I:
- ✅ Earned two professional certifications in cloud architecture and data engineering.
- ✅ Deepened my expertise in cloud computing & distributed systems.
- ✅ Attended developer conferences & technical workshops.
- ✅ Read technical books that refined my approach to software design.
The most valuable part wasn’t just learning—it was working on applying these concepts to real-world problems. I hope to apply even more in future work!
🤝 Goal: Mentorship & Knowledge Sharing
Growth isn’t just about individual progress—it’s also about helping others succeed. So, I also aimed to mentor teammates, share knowledge, and lead technical sessions.
This year, I:
- ✅ Mentored new team members, guiding them through onboarding and best practices.
- ✅ Led various technical discussions on topics such as Payment gateway, API security, microservices, etc.
- ✅ Encouraged and supported teammates in pursuing certifications.
- ✅ Contributed through technical blog posts & LinkedIn articles.
Looking Ahead 💡
I want to express my deepest gratitude to my peers for their support in helping me progress toward my goals. I’ll refine my goals based on feedback from my peers & leaders and continue growing both professionally and personally.
