<h2>Work</h2>
<p>
Still in Toronto, still working in software at Amazon.
Having been here for more than 2 years now the impostor syndrome is now a background hum instead of all consuming.
My team writes tools to help automate and test new machine setups.
Just got a promotion from L4 (entry level software engineer) to L5 (regular software engineer).
Was not something that I chased but there is an "up or out" when in the L4 position so it is really nice to have that worry off my mind.
</p>
<h2>Life</h2>
<p>
I am engaged and living with the most wonderful woman I have ever met.
Planning our wedding (slowly bit by bit) for next spring.
</p>
<p>
My brother is getting married soon, so we are preparing to travel back to my hometown for that in a week.
He is the happiest I have ever seen him and I am so grateful for that.
</p>
<p>
Actually planning for the long term financially now that I am lucky enough to have a job that leaves me with money to save and invest after the bills are payed.
It still feels new to have that cushion and to plan long term, definitely enjoying it.

Still training as much as I can.
The team here at GB Toronto has become an external family.
I am so grateful for the community.
First competition of the year for me is July 13th.
Have a touch over a Kg to cut to make weight.
</p>
<p>
Competiton is this Saturday.
I have made the weight, however they opened the weigh in on Friday evening which is unusual.
Means that I can cut water weight aggressively and re-hydrate before the first match so I don't feel terrible.
So putting a little of it back on.
</p>
<p>
We have a lot of people from the school going.
It is going to be a very fun day.

This website is the main thing that I have been working with.
I rebuilt it using HTMX and a Rust backend.
No more Javascript.
Next step is to add some curated pages, links that I have found interesting, tools that I use.
I have found a lot of utility in those pages on other personal websites and have started working on doing the same with this one.
Added a <a href="/uses">uses page</a> recently with just a list of the common things that I use every day.
Going to add links and other curated stuff next.
I love these pages on other personal websites and want to contribute to that.
</p>
<p>
I am looking at restructuring the site into more of a <a href="https://hapgood.us/2015/10/17/the-garden-and-the-stream-a-technopastoral/">garden than a stream.</a>
It is a structure that I find much more interesting and fits with how I want to build much more.
Treating most things as timeless and growing as opposed to a strict timeline.
It is how I keep most of my personal notes, dates more of as reference than things needing to be in order.
Will see how that works.
