Embracing the Role of a Creator: My Journey Towards Innovation and Self-Growth
I have always aspired to be a "creator" rather than merely a "consumer." While I previously consumed content passively, I realized that simply absorbing information without engaging in introspection or sharing insights would limit my growth. Consequently, I consciously adopted a mindset of balancing input and output. For instance, I began writing reviews after reading books, initiating small output activities to enhance my learning experience.
Continuing this approach, four years ago, I launched a media platform on WordPress (currently updated irregularly). Having a platform to express my ideas and receive immediate feedback through page views, comments, and revenue has been immensely rewarding. Through managing this media outlet, I have honed my skills in maximizing advertising revenue and acquiring users through trial and error.
Furthermore, driven by my passion, I have delved into leveraging generative AI technologies to develop web services and applications. With experience in building web services using Next.js and currently developing iOS/Android apps with React Native, I am self-taught in programming but deeply interested in the field. By capitalizing on the text processing capabilities of generative AI, I am creating user-participatory services, consistently seeking opportunities to produce output in the IT domain.
During my time working in Vietnam, I encountered exceptional engineers skilled in IT, English, and Japanese, which made me realize that achieving significant accomplishments alone is not the norm. Collaborating with talented individuals in a team can yield remarkable results that far surpass individual capabilities.
While my current focus is on individual endeavors, I have experienced the challenges and rewards of working on projects as part of a team. Regardless of whether it's an individual or team effort, I am driven to be involved in innovative products and services in the IT field, delivering new value to the world.
The Path Forward: Embracing Collaboration and Continuous Learning
Looking ahead, I am committed to continuous learning and growth, both as an individual and through collaborative efforts. By actively engaging in output activities, such as managing media platforms, developing web services and applications, and leveraging emerging technologies like generative AI, I aim to stay at the forefront of innovation.
Moreover, I recognize the immense value of teamwork and collaboration. While pursuing individual projects allows me to explore my personal interests and ideas, I am also open to joining forces with talented individuals to tackle larger, more ambitious endeavors. The synergy and collective expertise of a well-coordinated team can propel projects to new heights, surpassing the limitations of individual efforts.
Ultimately, my goal is to continuously contribute to the IT industry by creating innovative products and services that bring new value to the world. Whether through solo endeavors or collaborative partnerships, I am committed to embracing the role of a creator, pushing boundaries, and driving positive change through technology.
