+
+Marsupial madre de un amor tenaz\
+que se resguarda entre mis costillas;\
+me llena de un sentimiento líquido\
+que se construye al cerrar mis ojos.
+
+Llueves gotas de ideas inmarcesibles.\
+Toda la noche llueves sobre mi rostro;\
+gotas de lluvia que veo ya sobre mi piel\
+son transparentes, por tu transparencia.
+
+Cómo te extraño, querida amiga;\
+que convertiste nuestra vivienda en hogar,\
+y cuidas siempre de mí, así como yo de ti.\
+Pronto nos veremos otra vez.

 The main project I worked on was an iOS task-based project management application I called [Process](https://github.com/maxfierrog/process) whose main feature was a [directed acyclic graph](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Directed_acyclic_graph) of task-to-task dependencies (as opposed to just a [tree](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tree_(data_structure)) or list) on a recursive user interface. It is built on a [Firebase](https://firebase.google.com/)-d backend and [SwiftUI](https://developer.apple.com/xcode/swiftui/) frontend (in hindsight, should have used [Neo4j](https://neo4j.com/)'s graph DB instead).
