Lot of learning this year with new technology stack, headless, JSS, ReactJS, Docker and AKS. Ordercloud implementation with Sitecore XM. I wish I had more time to write about it. I will do a series in 2023. It was great to meet the community and virtual friends in person at the Sitecore Symposium.

I would take this opportunity to self-evaluate, Measuring helps in greater success, my contributions for the Sitecore Community this year.

Thank you to my family in supporting my efforts in running the user groups in the evenings after work. Thank you to the awesome community and everyone for the support.
