Information About me

A brazilian born and raised, I live now in France, where my engineering studies and the love for the country led me.

I worked for more than 15 years in many industries as a Methods Engineer and Project Manager, optimizing indicators and improving processes.

Thanks to those experiences, I also became an University Professor, spreading knowledge to Engineering students.

Now I'm in a journey to enter the game's industry to create and help bring unique games to reality. I want to allow my creativity to flow and make my professional background help me focus on producing original projects.
