My book was officially approved and scheduled! The contract is still cooking, but the project is launching.

Also there's a minor thing of me starting a new job this week, it being fun, and already starting to make an impact.

It's nice to use something more simple in terms of syntax and not so strict in terms of "building". To be fair though it's really refreshing learning something different

I finished my proposal for a new workflow for the office. TBH, I hated writing a lot of it because the tone of the writing is not how I prefer to communicate (I hate using corporate sounding language to describe things). But I do see the value in completing the exercise, both for the organization and myself.

My win for this week was participating in the Five Global Low-Code Hackathon. It was my first time working with a low code tool. I created a Drug Store application using the amazing features of Five.

BTW: I am an experienced Web Developer and JavaScript engineer with a proven track record of crafting and creating products for global companies. I have experience building with ReactJs, NextJs, ExpressJs, NodeJs, Firebase. I am currently in search of my next role. Any referral would be appreciated.
