Newbie looking for mentorship, inspiration

Good evening,
I've just joined the community on the recommendation of a fellow makerspace member. I'm involved in 2 activities right now. 1) Writing design and simulation tools for streamlined bicycles
Examples can be found at this site: Recumbents.com

2) Writing science education simulations for k-12 STEM education at local schools and an aviation museum (flight science).
Examples can be found at this site: https://sites.google.com/view/bikeflysci/home

I've taught myself so far, primarily through trial and (t)error, and am looking for someone slightly above my experience level who can help me see what I need to learn next. I'm using Google Anti-gravity to create .html/.js apps that can run from the browser.

In my past I've programmed in FORTRAN, BASIC, C, C++ and a few other dead languages. Now I'm mostly using AI to create the user interface. I let it create the physical modeling, but I'm knowledgable enough to check it for errors.
Any help and advice is appreciated - either through the comments or otherwise.
Thank you,
Nick

I am in no way above you since I am in a journey similar to yours, but regarding inspiration, from where I stand, I can tell you there’s nothing more inspiring than a retired fellow giving back to the world like you are doing right now. Good luck in your endeavors!
