It's time for some yearly reflections again. What a year 2024 has been! Both in good and in bad. This yearly review is my fourth, and you can find the previous ones from these links: Year in Review - 2021 Edition Year in Review - 2022 Edition Year in Review - 2023 Edition Okay, let's dive in. Accomplishments A lot has happened, and looking back, I've accomplished a bunch. Here are some of the highlights from the past year. I become a GDE (Google Developer Expert). That was a tremendous thing for me, getting recognition for my community contributions over the years. Also, after a huge case of imposter syndrome I had in the spring, getting the email welcoming me to the GDE program felt just incredible.

I also graduated in December, and can now proudly say that I'm, in addition to my previous master's degree in Russian language and culture, Master of Science in Economics and Business Administration, with a major in Information Systems (and the master's program was technical communication). The final accomplishment I want to highlight is that I released Neule.art Android app in December. It's a Compose multiplatform app, and I'm learning as I go - but it's been super fun! And sometimes frustrating because I'm a total iOS noobie, and when I need to add something in native code, I sometimes don't even know the right words to search for answers. Nevertheless, I've learned a ton in the process. I've written about the initial thoughts in this blog post: First Impressions of Compose Multiplatform Speaking In 2024, I did some public speaking. I also had to cancel some things due to booking flights on the wrong days and realizing it only right when I was supposed to leave, and getting sick
