<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>2018 has been an eventful year for me personally. Started blogging regularly, left my development job of 4 years, relocated, started a role at Accenture, AND passed 4 AWS certifications. As I sit here now on Dec. 26th looking forward to sitting for the AWS Solutions Architect Professional (hopefully) by the end of Feb., then heading to Japan for 2 weeks in early March. Busy year has been busy.</p>
