As we step into the last working week of the year, I find myself reflecting on a year that was nothing short of a rollercoaster ride. From overcoming personal challenges to celebrating significant achievements at COMPUTD, 2023 has been a year of resilience, growth, and triumphs.
🔥 Overcoming Adversity
This year started on a challenging note. With layoffs, my restaurant business in Hungary facing closure, and changes within COMPUTD, it felt like a test of endurance. However, these challenges only strengthened my resolve. I learned the power of perseverance and the importance of taking one step at a time. I am deeply grateful for these lessons, as they have shaped me into a stronger leader and individual.
On another personal note, I am in awe of my wife, Audrey Ignéczi, and her strength in overcoming her layoff, and becoming an awesome Product Owner at Coolblue! Her resilience and skills as a product owner are truly inspiring. Audrey, you are a testament to strength and capability, and I could not have succeeded this well this year without your support!
📈 Doubling in Size at COMPUTD
This year has been monumental for us at COMPUTD. We've doubled in size, a clear indicator of our growing impact and success in the field of AI and data science. This expansion is not just in numbers but also in the diversity of projects and depth of expertise. I am incredibly proud of how our team has adapted, evolved, and maintained the highest standards of innovation and collaboration.
🏆 Celebrating Success
Among the challenges, there were incredible highs. Winning the Brilliant Business Westelijke Mijnstreek Business Award with Pieter Schaap was a dream come true, a testament to the hard work and dedication of our amazing team. The continued partnership with Mercedes, and the enthusiasm around our upcoming WAISTD product, are milestones that fill me with immense pride.
🔮 Looking Ahead
As we gear up for 2024, I am filled with hope and ambition. With exciting plans for COMPUTD and a team that’s stronger than ever, the future looks bright. "At COMPUTD, we predict!", as coined on our internal year review, shall become our commitment to innovation and excellence.
