2024: The Year of Digital Sovereignty

JANUARY 01, 2025

Happy New Year! As we step into 2025, I can't help but reflect on a transformative 2024 – the year I reclaimed my digital sovereignty and discovered that true innovation happens when we put individual privacy first.

Remember when we thought cloud computing was the future? Turns out, the real innovation is bringing that computing power right into your living room – without Silicon Valley getting a front-row seat to your digital life.

This past year was about building technology that respects individual creativity and privacy. Here are some highlights that shaped my journey:

  • Launched CVRLTR, an AI resume generator that doesn't harvest your professional soul. Because your career story shouldn't be another data point for some algorithm.
  • Implemented local AI solutions using Ollama that let me experiment without broadcasting every creative spark to the cloud. Pro tip: your half-baked ideas deserve privacy too.
  • Hit 1000 miles on my electric bike – proving that innovation isn't just about what happens on a screen, but how technology integrates into real life.

Looking Ahead to 2025

As we embrace 2025, my vision remains clear: build technology that serves humans, not the other way around. Train your own models. Protect your data. Create without compromise.

Because in this rapidly evolving digital landscape, the most revolutionary act isn't just creating something new – it's maintaining control over what you create. Here's to a year of innovation on our own terms!

The most exciting part? This is just the beginning. 2025 promises even more opportunities to push the boundaries of what's possible while keeping our digital sovereignty intact.

Happy New Year! Let's make 2025 a year of mindful innovation and purposeful creation.
