If you've been following my journey since January, you know I'm all about learning, building, and sharing. The past few months have been a whirlwind of progress, and I'm excited to finally share what's been happening behind the scenes.
Professional Growth
I've been intentionally building my product and technical management credentials:
- Completed Scrum Fundamentals Certified (SFC) from SCRUMstudy
- Completed AI for Product Management from Pendo - Mind the Product
- Completed Product Management course from Great Learning Academy
- Earned my Google Data Analytics Professional Certificate
Academic Milestone
Finally collected my degree certificate for Diploma in Software Engineering from Alt School Africa as a pioneering student (class of 2022). A journey that started with courage and curiosity, and ended with an even bigger appetite for building and leading.
Product Progress
-
TryPlannr.app: Wrapped up the product design phase for this financial management tool that brings together AI-driven insights, account linking, budgeting, goals, subscriptions tracking and more. We're now moving into development! If you're curious, join the early waiting list at tryplannr.lilyslab.xyz.
-
Mini Projects: Built 5 web projects with 5 more in progress. I'll be sharing more details about these in May.
Personal Wins
Completed the 75 Soft Challenge. While I didn't see dramatic weight loss on the scale, I lost body fat, built muscle, and found a deeper respect for discipline and consistency in my daily habits.
What's Next?
Starting May 1st, I'm committing to building and sharing 20 products in 20 days to strengthen my portfolio. I've already begun laying groundwork for several projects to ensure success. I have so many interesting ideas to build and I can't wait to share them with you all.
My Career Focus
My professional direction has sharpened considerably. I'm actively seeking opportunities as:
- Technical Product Manager specializing in AI tools or developer/creative solutions
- Engineering Manager leading teams through innovative product development
- Creative Project Manager bridging technical requirements with creative execution
