Delivered a Node.js streams workshop at CityJS conference London

Having fun with Node.js streams (workshop)

When I was practicing Node.js, I made a simple JavaScript Discord bot that works with Slash Commands, using Discord.js. It is nothing special, but I think a good template for beginners who start working with Discord.js. The bot fetches information from ManageBots simple Statistic API.

Built a basic contact form for my professional website and hooked it up to the Mailgun API in order to send emails from senders to my work email.

Pro tip: At the time of this writing, the npm package mailgun-js is depracated and the instructions on Mailgun's site are wrong. You can find the official package and up-to-date instructions for Node at the mailgun.js package instead.

Launched a new online gacha game

We built the platform with express as our backend, using passport.js for authorization. 
As our front end we went with ejs rendering and tailwindcss for easy styling.
