CSS variables have become mainstream, but I was too busy with CSS-in-JS solutions for React that I hadn't previously had an opportunity to learn the details or implement them in any environments.

After reading about documenting success, and recently completing a series of annual performance reviews, I wrote a proof of concept web application for capturing achievements and assigning them to work areas, such as key result areas (KRAs).
Application was written in Svelte, using the Vanilla CSS framework for simple application styling. Application data is written to localStorage for persistence and loaded next time the user opens the application.
Routing was implemented with pages according to SvelteKit standard implementation.

Wrote a sample program in Rust to generate and solve sudoku puzzles.

Understanding the type system, references, and ownership model in Rust to manage the application's state. Reading from and writing to the filesystem to allow persistence between application executions.

The book Rust in Action by Tim McNamara has been a helpful resource in learning Rust.
