Summary
🤩
RockstarFilipe is a software engineer with 15 years of experience who transitioned from physical oceanography into research software engineering and open-source packaging. Based in Florianópolis, Brazil, he specializes in back-end development, DevOps and build systems, with deep hands-on work on conda packaging (conda-build, conda-smithy, conda-forge) and scientific Python libraries like netCDF4, Cartopy and Iris. He focuses on build automation, CI/CD, cross-platform packaging and reproducible scientific tooling—often simplifying recipe generation, filtering unwanted files, and modernizing build/config scripts. A pragmatic contributor, he also improves documentation, testing and developer ergonomics across projects (e.g., folium, pyjanitor, windrose), blending domain knowledge in oceanography with strong engineering instincts for reliable, portable research software.
