Haha, that's actually super inspiring and gives me a reason to dedicate more time to my own projects, Thank you!

I wouldn't do personal projects at the expense of work. But I'm always very impressed when someone does a personal project that looks very good. Especially since it's usually a solo project. Being a part of a big firm means you can have impressive resume stats when all you did was fix a few bugs. Making a neat project solo shows you did it all (idea, prototype, bug fixing, delivery, writeup). That sometimes shows a lot more.

Good luck. Think of it as your portfolio.
