About me

Hi! I’m a passionate software engineer with a Game Development bachelor degree from UNISINOS, where I focused on C#, C++, and Game Development.

I’m currently based in Sydney, Australia, pursuing an Advanced Diploma in IT to deepen my technical knowledge, explore new technologies, and learn how different tools and systems can work together to create better solutions.

As a strong believer in teamwork, knowledge-sharing, and building positive, collaborative environments, I hold the long-term goal to become a Lead Developer

I also founded a game-jam community where developers can share projects and receive personal feedback. If you’d like to join us, feel free to check it out:
