After a long idle period, worked through the official Python tutorial to refresh on the language (pretty rigorous actually) and the 42 exercises in Python Programming Exercises, Gently Explained (enjoyable, some of the simpler problems were fun to solve in more creative ways, easier than the tutorial and a few tedious bits). Next on the plate is the Flask tutorial and some projects involving web requests before stepping towards PyTorch.

I'm a contractor usually working on data analytics, simulations, and other "non software engineering"-use cases. Now a project forced me to build cloud applications in Azure, completely pulling me out of my comfort zone. It's fun, I've learnt a lot, but there's been a lot of new stuff to take in. At least the contract has liability sorted and the customer acknowledges this isn't what I was initially onboarded for, so I can proceed without much risk.

My most recent project is a text based RPG game set in medieval times with magic around it. If you want to help by coming up with a NPC idea I would be really happy(link to forms for NPC creator https://forms.gle/FkLoF5Z31oB9xbtX7)
