## Source excerpt

It's that time of the year again! Looking back, I'm so glad I started writing these yearly reflections back in 2021. Now that this is the fifth yearly reflection, it's great to read those previous ones, and see what has changed - and what has not. If you want to read about my previous yearly reflections, here they are: Year in Review - 2021 Edition Year in Review - 2022 Edition Year in Review - 2023 Edition Year in Review - 2024 Edition Let's see what 2025 was about. Accomplishments Looking back at 2025, the biggest accomplishment I want to share is that, in the spring, after being on burnout sickness leave for a month, I gave my two weeks' notice at my old job. At that point, I had no plan; I just knew I needed to get out. After that, things came together quickly, and two weeks after my last day at Oura, I started my own company, helping with mobile app accessibility. If your organization needs workshops, coaching, coding, or other mobile app accessibility-related services, send me a message and let's talk! Another thing I'm super proud and happy about is that in December, I sent the first issue of Inclusive Android Apps -newsletter. I've been contemplating starting a newsletter for a while, and in November, I finally decided to give it a go. I already have some upcoming issues scheduled, and I can't wait to send them out! You can subscribe to it behind the link: Inclusive Android Apps. On the coding front, I've learned a ton this year. One big theme has been Wear OS-apps, and I published my first Wear OS-application in August. It's a simple stitch counter for knitting, and building it taught me a lot. I wish I had some time to continue developing it at some point, but so far my fall has been busier than I expected. The final accomplishment I want to share is that I was asked to serve as a judge for Grand One, a Finnish award for digital agencies and marketing. The category I'm judging for is the most accessible digital service, and it was an honor to be asked. Spe
