I set goals at the beginning of the year, and I’m tracking my progress in these updates during 2022.
February became more of a work month for me, and a somewhat busy month outside of work with life. I didn’t do enough on my career, and am more stalled than I’d like. I let distractions take over more than I should, and I felt a bit bad at the end of the month, rushing through some things the last week of Feb to make a little progress.
I’m slowing down, but at least I did something. I’m lowering the grade because I just didn’t do enough.
Grade: C+
Here are the goals:

- DP-900 – Passed
- DP-300

- Demo with SQL Server – 5%
- Demo with PostgreSQL – 0%
