2025 New Year's Resolution

Some highlights from 2024:

• Got married
• Arai got pregnant
• Built the customer service AI app, I genuinely believe I have implemented novel ideas as one of the first one in the world, nothing technically difficult, but just thinking outside of the box.

Goals for 2025:

• Finish my data science master’s degree, I only miss the thesis and one course
• Further explore robotics and AI, before 2030 we should have further automated the last part of the picking process our Autostore warehouse. I should get an overview of the players in the field and technologies available.
• Get at least 1 developer to work under me to offload some of the work and further improve the AI app
• Continue being healthy and never stop with the basics: Sunlight, exercise, healthy food.

I think there is no substitute for knowing how things work. If I am to become a great leader I need to further my understanding of “everything”, I will probably not take a bachelor in math/physics/robotics etc. but I will try to go through all the curriculum and test myself in practical projects.
