Hello! I’m a programmer, gamedev and hobbist artist, originally from São Paulo, Brazil, now based in Düsseldorf, Germany. I’m a very curious and creative person, I feel pleasure by creating things, above everything. As a professional video game programmer, and currently working as a Senior Audio Programmer for Ubisoft Düsseldorf, my background spans gameplay, generalist, and audio programming. I’m genuinely passionate about all aspects of video game development – diving into everything from engines and systems to graphics, audio, and of course, crafting engaging gameplay. I’ve had the opportunity to contribute to titles such as Assassin’s Creed Nexus VR, XDefiant, Angest, Rock&Rails, Conflict0: Shattered, and Jake ’n Tess: Finding Monsters.
Beyond my professional work, programming remains a significant hobby, providing a constant source of learning and experimentation. Some of my relevant personal projects are bulletty, a TUI feed reader that stores the user data locally; flingern, a static art website generator; and my toy game engine, annileen. I also enjoy creating unique experiments, like rendering DOOM with emojis, a 2048 game that runs on the bootsector, a Wordle clone for DOS written in x86 asm, a gameboy emulator, and several small games.
Photography has been one of my main interests throughout my whole life, I’m always carrying a camera around and taking seamingly meaningless pictures. Music production is another big interest for me. I’ve wrote some small soundtracks for games I made that can be seen on my SoundCloud and I’m currently working on an EP. Recently, I started drawing and painting, and it’s been such a good way to express thoughts and feelings.
