Hello! I'm Felipe, and I have 9 years of experience building backend, desktop and developer-platform systems using .NET/C#, but I'm quite alright with jumping to a new stack as needed.

Most recently I've been at Elastic working on their current documentation platform, which given their scale presents a lot of challenges. Most of this work is available on Github, so you'll be able to check my work both before and after widespread AI-assisted development.

Besides that, I have worked on both brownfield and greenfield projects, and I'm available for backend, full stack, DevEx, platform, you name it! I enjoy being flexible if needed, and helping in bringing the best out of everyone.

So, what can you expect when interacting with me? Some horsing (mask) around when possible. A lot of respect for user needs, and eagerness to get their feedback.

Don't hesitate to get in touch!

The OST for the first two games, how they stick (ha!) well together, and how WLK managed to be a perfect blend of paying homage to the first game (Scorching Savanna!) _and_ being a solid improvement on it should be studied.

It's striking to me how humble Takahashi-sensei is regarding the shortcomings he perceives in the first game as well. I can see them much better dealt with in We Love Katamari, but I feel like some of them aren't that bad as a player who picks it to play every once in a while. In turn, it makes me appreciate the holistic and honest view he has for such an original game.

I have worked on both brownfield and greenfield projects, and I'm available for backend, full stack, you name it! I enjoy being flexible if needed, and helping in bringing the best out of everyone.

So, what can you expect when interacting with me? I'd say I'm pretty easy to talk and bond with, first of all. I love learning by engaging in meaningful interactions with my peers - pair-coding, thinking together on problems, knowledge sharing.

I don't think I'll actually request (I'm not in NA so I don't know if it'd be trickier or something), but I'd take off of my chest the plight this year nonetheless if that's ok.

In today's exchange rate, I receive around net USD1200 a month, and have around USD1150 of mandatory expenses. 440 (rent) + 75 (electricity) + 250 (mother's health insurance) + 250 (my part in monthly food expenses) + 70 (therapy) + 70 (gas). I can survive, but I can't do much, and more importantly, I need nothing bad to happen, else this can snowball.

It was a rather cruel year. I spent around USD1500 over the last year on my elder dog's health issues. He had 3 surgeries, and while he survived those he ultimately deteriorated quickly over a week and passed away in early November. I still can't last a day without breaking down - he was, is, a brother to me. Part of the sum I mentioned was for his cremation service.

During the year, I also had a HDD fail in a small time window where some of the projects I had the most emotional investment in were, without backups. I had to pay another USD500 to actually recover the data. Two tires flattened out in the span of 2 weeks, another USD330.

Of course, things snowballed. Every month I need to pay one or two bills on credit to split it over the next year just so I don't get a loan. I think if I can make it to May, where I'll get around an extra salary, I can make do, but life is pretty miserable.

And I had planned to get married early next year, so that's slipping off the table too. My fiancée supports me where she can emotionally, but she's unemployed too, trying to start a doc degree in Biology next year. While I need to support my mother, who gets next to nothing as retirement, at least her family's got her back while she lives with them.

I hope everyone is, or gets to be, doing better than summarizing their year like this. It's hard to find days where I can try and study to hopefully better provide here. Be well, folks.

The Xamarin successor is MAUI, which is the MS offer in the field.

Here's hoping this is a milestone as good as it sounds. I'm particularly curious about the improvements in encrypted conferences, which is... A pretty darn hard to do. Even more so with Matrix's "constrains".
