My win this week: Learned the MCP protocol "the hard way" - read through the specification, analyzed other people's code, and did a lot of experimenting.
Eventually wrote my own Python client for Algolia's MCP server and documented the entire process in an article.
Now I understand how MCP works under the hood!

My win of the week:

  • Selected as Winner for Runner-H Challenge
  • Submitted my Submission for Frontend Challenge: Office Edition. I give it a personal touch by trying to impersonate my OWN workstation.
  • Completed a Blog Assignment for a Client related to Docker MCP

Beyond something technical or related to my job, I've learned that I should prioritize working on my dreams and goals NOW. I make time on a daily basis to follow what I want to do in the long term. It has been hard but small steps will make me achieve my goals. Do it now and your future self will be grateful!

This week I’m proud to have completed the BOLT hackathon and my new projects!

It’s been a full month of intense learning, and I genuinely feel like it has changed the way I approach my projects. I now face technical challenges with much more clarity and flow what used to slow me down is now part of the fun.

On top of that, I’ve started building an app focused on the scientific and health innovation field in Spain, aimed at supporting researchers, lab professionals, and scientists.
This platform will soon be presented at the European Commission as part of a proposal for digital transformation in the biomedical sector. You can check the project here: sciential.ai/

And of course, I’m really grateful to have discovered this amazing community. The inspiration and support I’ve found here is unmatched. 🚀

The other one is a side project using JavaScript only with Jikan API, yeh just an anime guessing game.
I don't want to jump to frameworks yet
