I'm working on a little mobile game which surrounds locating and collecting VW beetles 'spots'.
I've been spending a lot of time in México over the last year and have been working on a photography project surrounding the VW Beetles (Vochos as they call them) you'll find all over the country. I'm inspired by the range of character of the Vochos and how they've become ingrained in the country's cultural landscape.
I realized I had a sort of hyper-niche problem where I was locating Vochos I'd like to shoot when I wasn't carrying my camera. I was getting annoyed with using Google Maps to list locations I'd like to return and shoot so I spent a weekend putting the app together and turning it into a game.
After using the app for a few weeks I've realized the spotting or hunting of the cars is the part I enjoy the most about my project and when I have the time I'd like to publicize it so others who find themselves in Vocho dense area can check it out if they'd like!
Sorry, I'm showing my age. When I was a boy it was common to play "slug bug". Sighting a Volkswagen Beetle was an excuse to punch your friend/sibling in the shoulder without retribution.

Very cool, congratulations on the position! I'm a fan of web based games, out of pure curiosity is there any chance you can shoot me a link to the game in a DM?
The way I frame luck in my mind is that there will always be elements of your success which lie outside of your control. The ability to which you can capitalize on opportunities which come from outside of your of control is contingent on factors of your life which exist within the boundaries of your control.
You may have been lucky because a recruiter has reached out to you for a role which you would fit well in, but that's because you've made a conscious effort in dedicating time your craft and to advertising your capabilities.
Luck (or the lack of) is nearly never the sole factor in your successes or your failures.
