My win this week: Learned the MCP protocol "the hard way" - read through the specification, analyzed other people's code, and did a lot of experimenting.
Eventually wrote my own Python client for Algolia's MCP server and documented the entire process in an article.
Now I understand how MCP works under the hood!

Got the second paying customer for Startups Lab this week ๐ŸŽ‰

Still feels unreal every time someone trusts your product enough to pay for it.

My win of the week:

  • Selected as Winner for Runner-H Challenge
  • Submitted my Submission for Frontend Challenge: Office Edition. I give it a personal touch by trying to impersonate my OWN workstation.
  • Completed a Blog Assignment for a Client related to Docker MCP
  • For the first few days, I was lost in my own thoughts. Now I have a vision for the rest of days of the week. Looking forward to meet my Targets.

This week Iโ€™m proud to have completed the BOLT hackathon and my new projects!

Itโ€™s been a full month of intense learning, and I genuinely feel like it has changed the way I approach my projects. I now face technical challenges with much more clarity and flow what used to slow me down is now part of the fun.

On top of that, Iโ€™ve started building an app focused on the scientific and health innovation field in Spain, aimed at supporting researchers, lab professionals, and scientists.
This platform will soon be presented at the European Commission as part of a proposal for digital transformation in the biomedical sector. You can check the project here: sciential.ai/

And of course, Iโ€™m really grateful to have discovered this amazing community. The inspiration and support Iโ€™ve found here is unmatched. ๐Ÿš€

Beyond something technical or related to my job, I've learned that I should prioritize working on my dreams and goals NOW. I make time on a daily basis to follow what I want to do in the long term. It has been hard but small steps will make me achieve my goals. Do it now and your future self will be grateful!

I taught my almost-three-year-old to use the computer mouse and play the memory game in GCompris by himself!

Oh and I published my third post here (about devcontainer environments) and am working on the next one about AI tooling security. Seeing the comments has been super fun!

Finally started learning angular! When I started with frameworks, Mostly I heard that angular is hard for beginners and we should start with any other framework, but it turns out to be the one I am currently liking!
