2021 year started slow later picked up the pace. Lot of learning this year with new technology stack, headless, JSS, ReactJS, Docker and AKS. Ordercloud and moosend in the pipeline for 2022. I wish I had more time to write about my JSS journey. But I will do a series in 2022. I have shared a lot of issue fixes and some useful tips n tricks. 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.
