Hard to choose. Here’s a short list of favorites:

- PyATL (Python Atlanta). Group already existed. Didn’t build it from scratch. Adapting to the pandemic and pivoting to keep the community strong was a challenge. We made it through and now better than ever.

- Worked on ESG software. Helping people invest according to their values. Most people are good. Means the software shifts investments from shitty companies to better ones (IMHO).

- Fixed part of the MCAT registration portal performance a short while back. It went from definitely not able to handle scale to being resilient.

- Worked on Fieldscope. An important scientific app used for environmental research like the Chesapeake Bay cleanup project. Flash in 2018 was a nightmare but made it work.

- All the smaller open source contributions that help remove paper cut level issues from projects. That way maintainers can focus on making the bigger impact.

I know this was rather off topic. We don’t usually get to share this. It’s nice to signal to others that they can make a difference at all levels. You can make the world better right now and right where you are. Go!
