# Felipe de Almeida

> I build distributed systems, developer platforms, and cloud infrastructure.

## About

Software engineer and architect with 12+ years building and running .NET platforms — distributed systems, event-driven design, and CI/CD. As Head of Technology at Dietbox he led a 13-person engineering, QA, UX and support organization while staying hands-on in architecture and delivery. Most recently Senior Product Engineer at Kota.io, building health-insurance infrastructure for the European market. Currently freelancing through Pampa Devs — his software studio — and open to new roles.

## What this site is

Pulse is this portfolio and, at the same time, the system it describes. Opening the page joins a live presence set over a SignalR WebSocket, puts a dot on a shared world map, and publishes a visit event through a real event-driven backend — a .NET API, a RabbitMQ transactional outbox, a separate worker process, Postgres, and OpenTelemetry traces. The public metrics on the page are that system reporting on itself.
