* Personal highlights:
> - Learning about the project and [meeting Kirstie](https://github.com/alan-turing-institute/the-turing-way/blob/ebbaf8f5f3a66da441beafc690a1b16a9c50d15b/communications/newsletters/newsletter_08_Nov2019.md#acknowledgements-and-celebrations) during a rough patch in my PhD — learning about the project brought me hope for the future!
> - My [first issue](https://github.com/alan-turing-institute/the-turing-way/issues/1114) followed several small contributions and then [the first gnarly infrastructure PR](https://github.com/alan-turing-institute/the-turing-way/pull/2039) I made, which started my love(/hate)-affair with Jupyter Book.
> - Working with [Malvika](https://github.com/malvikasharan) to [rewrite the landing page](https://github.com/alan-turing-institute/the-turing-way/pull/1961) (particularly proud of _"Warning: Do not try to read the _The Turing Way_ from start to finish!"_)
> - [Learning how to build the book locally](https://web.archive.org/web/20221104150942/https://fosstodon.org/@da5nsy/108760121842868538) from [Sarah Gibson](https://the-turing-way.netlify.app/afterword/contributors-record.html#sarah-gibson) (and learning about miniconda in the process!) — a process which is now written up [here](https://the-turing-way.netlify.app/community-handbook/local-build.html#ch-local-build), but wasn't at the time, and so it felt like secret magic, and an infrastructure nerd's rite-of-passage.
> - Using that knowledge to finally [wipe all of the long-standing build warnings and errors](https://github.com/alan-turing-institute/the-turing-way/issues/2611) so that we could [implement CI to catch bugs before they were merged into main from then on](https://github.com/alan-turing-institute/the-turing-way/pull/2861)!
> - [Presenting at FOSS Backstage in Berlin](https://github.com/alan-turing-institute/the-turing-way/issues/2993#issuecomment-1629424116) with [Anne Lee Steele](https://github.com/aleesteele), on the subject of "maintenance" and ideas around transitioning from a small scrappy project to a long-term-sustainable project.
> - In 2023 I'm focusing on the more organisation-level infrastructure ([what tools do we use and why](https://github.com/alan-turing-institute/the-turing-way/issues/3218)?), and as part of that, I was proud to set up [the Turing Way's mastodon account](https://fosstodon.org/@turingway/108278354199514905).
