Introduction
After two busy weeks of building VeriFund, deploying projects, participating in my first hackathon, and attending APIConf 2026, this week was much quieter.
Instead of building a new project, I decided to go back to the fundamentals. I spent most of the week learning more about the Spring Framework, especially concepts like Spring AOP, Dependency Injection, the IoC Container, Spring Security, logging, and software design principles.
I also started preparing for my upcoming exams while staying consistent with my #100DaysOfCode challenge. Alongside that, I updated my CV, continued applying for backend roles, and even tried an AI-powered mock interview. Let's just say it was a reminder that I still have a lot to improve when it comes to technical interviews.
Although I didn't ship a new project this week, I don't see it as a slow week. Understanding the concepts behind the framework I use every day is just as important as writing code. The better I understand how Spring works, the better I'll be able to build secure, scalable, and maintainable applications.
