I discovered MuleSoft 2 years ago and currently am working with Solace PubSub+ as well. **How did you start as a developer?** It started when I was in my college doing small projects in Java. After that, I got an internship in the same domain. However, currently I’m working in the integration domain. **What is your typical day like?** I have black tea in the morning and then I work out for an hour before starting my work. We have a team meeting once every two days to interact and share things. After that, I check my calendar to see if there is something scheduled for the day. Additionally, I read blogs and docs that could help me get better. **What is your favorite thing about being a developer?** Problem solving and in general just realizing that there are endless opportunities to grow and make an impact. **What project are you currently working on?** Currently I’m working on a project that integrates Solace PubSub+ with MuleSoft. I primarily work on object and account creation and their configuration, mapping, and monitoring. **What new skills or technologies are you learning?** Solace PubSub+, MuleSoft, and Solidity **What cool tech trends are you seeing?** I really like AI. I also think blockchain is going to be something big given that how secure and transparent it is. **What advice do you have for other developers?** Engage with people, talk to them, try to become an active member of the community, be quick to adapt to new things, and help others. **If you could retire now, what would you do?** I’d probably visit a few countries that I’ve been wanting to and just enjoy the nature there. **If you were a Solace Developer Community admin for one day, what would you do?** Well, I’m not sure what I’d do, probably something along the lines of encouraging people to contribute as much as they can to the community. **Do you have anything else to share with the Community?** Let’s make this community one of the best places to learn and explore! **What is your favourite activity outside of the office?** I like travelling and listening to music. I sing as well (I mean that’s what I like to pretend.) **What is your proudest accomplishment of this year?** Discovering Solace and earning two certifications. And I intend to continue my learning. **Read more** : - [Solace Developer Spotlight: D Rajesh Kumar (aka rajeshdns)](https://community.solace.com/discussion/827/solace-developer-spotlight-d-rajesh-kumar-aka-rajeshdns) - [Solace Developer Spotlight: Nagaraju Kshathriya (aka NaGG)](https://community.solace.com/discussion/749/solace-developer-spotlight-nagaraju-kshathriya-aka-nagg) - [Solace Developer Spotlight: José Rodrigues (aka, CloudGod)](https://community.solace.com/discussion/699/solace-developer-spotlight-jose-rodrigues-aka-cloudgod) - [Solace Developer Spotlight: Manish Yadav](https://community.solace.com/discussion/662/solace-developer-spotlight-manish-yadav) - [Solace Developer Spotlight: Sjaak Overgaauw](https://community.solace.com/discussion/610/solace-developer-spotlight-sjaak-overgaauw) ---

Thanks for sharing @namanmathur16. Exciting that you’re learning Solidity as well! I would like to take some time to learn that at some point as well. Have you written any contracts deployed to the blockchain? > What is your favourite activity outside of the office? > > I like travelling and listening to music. I sing as well (I mean that’s what I like to pretend.) Hahaha. Any music videos with you singing out there ? !? ---

@marc Good to know that you’re also interested in Solidity. Well as of now, I have deployed my basic smart contract on test blockchain on JavaScript VM and will soon deploy on Binance Smart Chain as well. Regarding my music videos, fortunately for others, I haven’t recorded myself singing yet. I would like to do it though, once I learn how to play a guitar flawlessly. ---

Awesome, that’s exciting re: test blockchain and BSC as well! Hope it goes smoothly for you 🙂
