After a few years, how do I feel about programming for Android and interacting with its community?
Honestly, I've always been happy with the reception I've received for the projects I've maintained and created over the years. I really enjoy the Android community.
Despite some reservations, I've always been welcomed by other developers and advanced users. This has helped me not give up on developing, even though it's a very difficult path full of twists and turns.
Yes, there are days when I think, "Why am I wasting my time on this? F#ck this shi*" But fortunately, that's not the case. Today I see that people do care: stability matters, design matters, and I must continually improve on this. Every message, every report, every download is a vote of confidence in my ability, and that makes me particularly happy and satisfied.
Of course, not everything that comes my way is good. I needed to understand that a minority doesn't represent the whole, and over time, I developed a filter to stay focused and meet the demands of the majority, at my own pace, without pressure or sadness.
I will always be grateful to everyone for trusting my work, because, in the end, that's how I see it all.
Thank you, community.

After a few years I'm finally doing well in my employment contracts.
I've always oscillated between interface design, branding, and programming. If you follow my Instagram you must also know that I do drawings too.
As I dedicated more of my time to Android programming, I decided to focus on entering the field since the end of the pandemic, and it worked out really well.
At first, I had some adaptation problems. I started at Itaú as a QA and was soon promoted to the data and cloud analyst team, which is not what I like to do.
Then I got an excellent contract at Qintess where I would work specifically as an Android software engineer. And damn, I felt so good during those 3 months of contract, the team was great and I finally knew how to use most of the technologies and tools, I FELT LIKE A MACHINE. But the temporary contract ended and I chose not to renew.
I am currently in the mobile division of luizalabs (Magalu) earning double my previous salary with an incredible team, for now I feel fulfilled in my career, and I will continue to evolve and find more insane and important opportunities.

The downside is that it distances me a bit from my personal projects. But I always find some time for maintenance. I think this is part of growing up; some things stop being a priority and are exchanged for others.

I'm particularly happy to be working alongside such amazing developers, 2026 has started off well...
Despite the reasons behind Morphe project creation, the team and the project itself are quite cool, my first contacts with the developers, especially Liso, left me very excited about the future.
I don't think I've ever worked as hard on MicroG RE as I am now; I want to meet everyone's expectations in this next update.
I'm really excited.
