+Wow. 2019 was an incrediblely busy and productive year. Here's some highlights + thoughts on where I'm going!
+
+
+## Speaking
+
+In 2019 I had the privilege of speaking at 3 different tech conferences in two countries!
+
+- Drupalcon Seattle 
+- Drupal Camp Poland 2019
+- Design4Drupal 2019
+
+Things unfortunately didn't pan out with the other conferences I submitted proposals for (Drupalcon Amsterdam, Design Systems London, JS Conf Honolulu 2020, and PerfMatters 2020) _however_ I'm not giving up!

+
+## 2019: Design Systems, Web Components, and Front-end Architecture, oh my!
+
+If you <a href="https://twitter.com/salem_ghoweri">follow me on Twitter</a> (or know me personally) then you already know that I'm a lead front-end architect who's a crazy HUGE fan of design systems and web components! Naturally it shouldn't come as a surprise then that my last past couple years have been filled to the brim with that stuff -- and 2019 was no exception!
+
+
+
+## 5 Initiatves for 2019
+A little over a year ago, towards the end of 2018, we identified 5 primary initiatives to focus on for 2019, based on the areas we were hurting the most + anticipation
