As I sit down to reflect on the past year, I'm overwhelmed with gratitude for the journey I've been on as a developer. It's been a whirlwind of creativity, challenges, and ultimately, accomplishments. Let me take you through some of the projects I've had the privilege to work on over the past 12 months.

### Light AI: Illuminating Creativity with AI-Generated Art
One of my proudest achievements this year has been the creation of Light AI, a text-to-image application that harnesses the power of Hugging Face's AI models and Firebase integration to generate stunning visual art. What started as a passion project quickly gained traction, with over 10,000 images created by more than 3,000 users. Witnessing the viral spread of something I built from the ground up has been truly humbling.

### Neoflow: Crafting Collaborative Sketches and Diagrams
Neoflow represents a culmination of my passion for design, collaboration, and innovation. This application enables teams to create sketches and diagrams collaboratively, with seamless AI integration.

### Schooler: Bridging the Gap Between Teachers and Students
In my college days, I faced the frustration of accessing documents from my teachers. To address this common issue, I developed Schooler, a platform that facilitates seamless document sharing between educators and students. Utilizing NeonDB, Prisma, Next.js, Firebase Storage, and NextAuth, Schooler has become a staple in my college community, simplifying the learning experience for hundreds.

### MangaHook: Revolutionizing Manga Consumption
Driven by my love for manga, I embarked on the journey of creating MangaHook—a platform that scrapes manga data from unreliable sources and presents it in a user-friendly format. Not only did I develop the website using Express for data scraping, Next.js, and Next UI, but I also created an API that fellow developers can leverage to build their own manga apps.
