It had been a positive and productive week until I received an unfortunate termination email from my current employer. As a result, my energy for the rest of the week has taken a hit. ๐Ÿ˜”

If your company has any frontend developer openings and you are offering job opportunities, I would be deeply grateful if you could consider referring me. Your support and consideration would be greatly appreciated.

I started learning Python on Monday and as we speak right now am able to construct some programs using lists, dictionaries, functions etc..... I'm so glad people. I thought this could be hard but it turned out to be cutting margarine with a hot knife.

I'm also making use of some LinkedIn courses like linkedin.com/learning/certificates... by Sasha Vodnik.
