February was amazing and full of surprises! Let's go over the best parts and the fun projects I worked on.

### **Cheers from the Community**

* Big cheers: I became a #ProgressChampion! 🎉 Thank you so much to [Progress Telerik and Kendo UI](https://www.progress.com/champions) for this big honor. It makes me really happy and keeps me going.

### **Fun with AI**

This month, I got to talk about artificial intelligence (AI) with Leifer Mendez in Madrid. We talked about how AI is creating new chances for us in tech, making things easier and more fun. We showed how to [make a chatbot with Gemini, Angular, and Kendo UI](https://www.danywalls.com/create-your-personalized-gemini-chat-with-kendo-ui-conversational-ui-and-angular) and it was a lot of fun to share how these tools can do cool things.

### **Writing and Sharing**

I wrote some neat articles about Angular and Kendo UI. Here's what I shared:

* [Building an Advanced Image Uploader with Kendo UI for Angular](https://www.telerik.com/blogs/building-advanced-image-uploader-kendo-ui-angular-upload)
    
* [How to Upload Multiple Files in an Angular App](https://www.telerik.com/blogs/how-upload-multiple-files-angular-app)
    
* [The Best of Both Angular Worlds: Standalone Modules Combined](https://www.telerik.com/blogs/best-both-angular-worlds-standalone-modules-combined)
    
* [Build Navigation in Angular with Router, RouterLink, and Kendo UI](https://www.danywalls.com/build-navigation-in-angular-with-router-routerlink-and-kendo-ui)
    
* [Learn Route Parameters in Angular with Example](https://www.danywalls.com/learn-route-parameters-in-angular-with-example)
    

February was all about learning, sharing, and having a good time. Thanks to everyone for being part of it. Looking forward to more fun times ahead!
