A Year of Growth, Friendship, and New Beginnings

2024 has been a challenging yet profoundly rewarding year for me. Despite the hurdles, I find myself at the end of the year with a heart full of gratitude and pride. Founding BS99 was a milestone, but the true highlights were the two events that brought unwavering support, friendship, and invaluable insights from friends and colleagues.

As I look back, there’s no better way to close this chapter than by celebrating the inspiring keynote from Dr. Halil and the heartfelt reporting video created by young, passionate reporters. Their work embodies the spirit of collaboration, the wisdom of seasoned researchers and engineers blending with the energy and fresh perspectives of the next generation.

Echoing the theme of our second event, we are shaping tomorrow by connecting ideas and knowledge. To everyone who stood by me, offered their time, wisdom, and encouragement, you made this journey possible.

As we welcome 2025, I tap my shoulder and celebrate the resilience and growth this year has brought. Let’s continue to create, innovate, and make the world a more beautiful and inspiring place, together.
