I have discovered Uno Platform a year ago and immediately fell in love with it. Uno makes building cross-platform apps in C# and XAML a breeze. After using it for a while I have realized some features I would like to use were not implemented yet. Because of that I started contributing and haven't stopped since. Two years and 280 merged pull requests later, I want to share the story about how much contributing to open-source helped grow my skills, widened my perspectives, and talk about the amazing experiences it brought into my life.
