| year-in-review-2025 | ryan | musings | I was hoping to have this written and posted last week, but for Christmas this year Santa brought me a cold which knocked me on my butt for a few days. I had done a bit of prep, but wow, when I look back at 2025 it was a pretty big year for me personally. ## Professional I celebrated 17 years at my [current employer](https://www.mydohc.com). While this isn't a nice round number sort of anniversary, about 6 months before the actual anniversary date I was promoted to an Associated Vice President and joined the Senior Management Team. This has been a goal of mine since about 2010 and after a lot of hard work (and honestly more than a bit of good luck) I "made it". In addition to the promotion at work, I also helped to lead a multi department team to a successful upgrade for a major application AND helped to lead a major network migration for our EHR that went really well. Two major projects accomplished in the same calendar year was a pretty good feeling. We also do annual employee satisfaction surveys and my department had a 96% satisfaction rating. This is a really good feeling as a leader. We get shit done AND people are happy to do it! Since 2021 my department has consistently scored above 90%. This isn't just me though! I have a great management team that helps to make this happen. Over this same time period I've had 7 people leave the department1. Five of them because of retirement. I really like that where I work is a place you retire at more often than not! That, along with the high satisfaction rates, suggest that my management team and I are doing something right. ## Django and Python On the Django and Python side it was also a really big year. In February I [spoke](https://youtu.be/FBMg2Bp4I-Q?si=tzHCWboxaEa8vEh3) at [PyCascades](https://2025.pycascades.com/) in Portland, Oregon.
