Resumé

I'm a game developer with a bachelor's degree in game design. I'm interested in many game development fields, and the ones I'm best at are game design and programming, besides having a great interest in level creation, both artistically and in design. I also have some knowledge of game production and, though rarely, also like to study sound design and music.

I have worked on some games for PC and Mobile, and I'm constantly developing personal projects. In the Projects tab, you'll find videos of these games, and some include the option to download or play inside your browser.

Currently, I'm focusing on developing my game and level design skills as well as 3D modeling, animation, and texturing. I'll add more of my work here as soon as it's ready.

Finally, I also have a YouTube channel where I show, in a simplified fashion, the processes behind game development.

SKILLS

Tools

Pen and paper
diagrams.net
Gitbook
Wix
Microsoft Excel
Figma

Experience

In all projects that I had a hand in game design, I used at least one of the tools on the left. I always prefer to start with a brainstorm while I write down the initial ideas on paper and pen, in addition to using them a lot in physical prototypes. I always use diagrams.net to work on level design and game progression. Gitbook and Wix I usually use to make GDDs and other types of documents in wiki format. I like to use o Excel for planning and balancing game resources. Lastly, I use Figma for prototyping interfaces and wireframes. I've included examples of some projects just below!

Sketches and early prototypes of some games, including: The Lands of Camelot and The Forgotten Future

Tools

C#
Python
Unity
Godot
Unreal Engine
Visual Studio Code
JetBrains Rider

Experience

Programming is my main skill because it's where I spend more time and have more knowledge, and Unity and C# are part of my daily routine. I use both Visual Studio Code and Rider for code editing, applying design patterns, SOLID principles and always keeping the code organized and clean. In the projects tab you can see thegameswhere I developed either most or, in some cases, all of the code. I'm also constantly getting in touch with new technologies, trying to learn a little about other engines like Godot and Unreal and also some other programming languages. Lately I'm focusing on learning about shaders and studying GLSL and HLSL.

The game Oquirá, programmed entirely by me.

Tools

Adobe Illustrator
Adobe Photoshop
Adobe Substance Painter
Blender
Maya
ZBrush
inkscape
Krita
GIMP
Aseprite

Experience

I haven't worked as an artist on group projects, but I always use my personal projects as an opportunity to develop my artistic skills. In these projects, I usually do illustrations, image edits, modeling, texturing, and animations. I also know commonly used pipelines for creating 2D and 3D assets in the aforementioned tools. To see some examples of illustrations, models and animations made by me, just access the gallery on the projects tab.

Tools

Audacity
FMOD Studio
Adobe Audition
FL Studio

Experience

My experience with audio is more on the implementation part, as I often use FMOD to make games with adaptive audio in Unity. As for music and sound design, I came into contact with Audition a few years ago with the creation of sounds and soundscapes and have also been using it for voice-over and editing audio. I'm also starting to learn how to compose music in FL Studio.
