Finally launched my personal website levischouten.net!

• After mostly mucking about with 3D CSS on Codepen for the past two years I finally dipped my toe in the back-end side of things. I did have some prior experience with PHP loops and arrays, now I'd like to code something myself from start to finish - using Laravel
• ...and JS, which I'd also shied away from before. Not really ready yet, but I did manage to cobble together a Candy Crush clone (based on a tutorial by Ania Kubów
• The drive to get into back-end in no way means I'm going to stop muching about with 3D on Codepen. If anything, I'm speeding up! Two pens CSS pens in week (on top of the Candy Crush clone)

2. Sea-Sickening Starfish: The SeaQuel:

I had my yearly review Friday and was promoted to Front End Team Leader! 🥰😭 it’s the first time for our department being split front and backend development as we’re still quite a small business so being in charge of the front end development I’ve been putting my 6/12 month plan together and I’m super excited 👏🏻🤩

Also played tennis for the second time since I was a child this week!

Oooo heck yeah!

You are always rocking the graphics, Rachel. They turned out brilliant. 🙌

I've been on panels, given talks at meetups and Lunch & Learns, but this week, I gave my first conference talk, "Fresh: a new full stack web framework for Deno"! It was remote, but still feel pretty good about it. Next goal, an in person conference talk!

The recording isn't available yet, but you can check out the slide deck and demo for now.
