Hi! 👋🏽 November has ended, and it was packed with **four events in a single month** (special thanks to my family, Edgar, and Silvia, for their patience ❤️). It was an incredible experience sharing and learning with the community and GDG.

Let’s recap!

## 📝 **Articles**

> With all the events this month, my writing time was a bit limited. But I still managed to publish one article!

This month, I explored building **multi-conversation chats**. Starting from scratch, I discovered a way to simplify the process using **Kendo UI** and **Angular Signals**. The result? A feature-rich chat app with editing, deleting, and pinning functionalities.

## 🙏🏽 **Special Thanks**

A huge shoutout to **Google Developer** for inviting me to participate in the **#AISprint** with **#Gemini**! I loved the experience and, of course, the awesome swag and stickers.
