Hey, I’m Felipe.

Most of my work is Next.js, TypeScript and Node. But the part I actually rely on sits underneath the framework: components have a lifecycle, state has an owner, and something has to decide when to re-render. React and Angular answer those questions differently — they aren't different problems. Moving between them has never been the hard part of a job.

The hard part, for the last two years, has been deciding what an LLM should be allowed to decide. Anything that can be written as a rule should be a rule: deterministic, testable, identical every run. The model gets only the questions that genuinely need judgment — and it gets them narrowly. It doesn't hunt on its own; it rules on candidates the deterministic layer already found, and it has to show its reasoning. A schema guarantees the shape of the answer; the prefilter and that reasoning are what make the content auditable. That split is the architecture behind both BlackLetter and Strategic Council.

I work remotely with teams in the US, and I'm comfortable owning a feature end to end — API, database, interface, and the failure paths nobody demos.

Open to senior remote roles — feel free to reach out.
