Here’s my 2024 LinkedIn Rewind, by Coauthor:

Engineering is about building bridges – between systems, communities, and people. 2024 taught me that the strongest bridges are built not just with code, but with collaboration and trust.

Like a well-designed distributed system, impact scales through connection points. This year brought new opportunities to strengthen those connections:

Technical Architecture 🏗️
• Elevated to Distinguished Engineer at Morgan Stanley
• Led quantum computing initiatives through FINOS Zenith SIG
• Contributed to ComposeUI achieving FDC3 2.0 conformance
• Advanced XR adoption in financial services

Community Foundation 🌉
• Appointed FINOS Ambassador and Vice Chair of Technical Oversight Committee
• Continued Microsoft MVP journey in .NET Technologies
• Expanded DEI initiatives through FINOS
• Mentored next generation through KOMP program

Three posts that resonated deeply with our community:

“Starting a new position as Distinguished Engineer”
On how success is built through collective wisdom and support

“I’m happy to share that I’m starting a new role as Vice Chair”
On shaping the future of open source in finance
https://lnkd.in/eFaDZGFS

“Microsoft MVP Recognition”
On how community contribution leads to unexpected rewards

Looking toward 2025, we’re expanding these bridges:
• Advancing quantum computing applications in finance
• Growing open source adoption through FINOS initiatives
• Mentoring more developers through KOMP
• Completing my book on high-performance .NET

As we compile our achievements for 2024, let’s remember – the best code isn’t just efficient, it’s inclusive. Here’s to building more bridges in 2025. 🌉
