Software Engineer
Hi! I'm a Software Engineer from Brazil with over 15 years of experience, including the last 7 years dedicated to the gaming industry. I see games not just as entertainment, but as a powerful form of art and expression. Below, you'll find a selection of my professional experience and projects that reflect my passion and expertise.
No Rest for the Wicked is a souls-like game that strives to reinvent the genre by mixing procedural loot and camera from ARPG games with precision combat design from typical souls games. The final release of the game will also feature a lenghty campaign and multiplayer mode.
As part of the Core Tech team I developed and mantained key gameplay and engine systems such as:
- Simulation to view synchronization
- World state management
- Quest framework
- Streaming system
- Culling
- ECS-based gameplay systems
- Replay systems for automation
- Localization
- Related editor tools
Other relevant work:
- Implemented a signal-based framework for designing flexible and modular game behavior, used for quests and bespoke setups.
- Developed automation tools for cinematic and trailer footage capture, content validation, loot previewing, and performance analysis.
- Created a simulation tool for testing and debugging multiplayer mispredictions and desynchronizations.
Work period: Mar 2021 - Current
