What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a game development role where I can create and prototype in Godot, collaborate on UI/UX, and turn animation into responsive gameplay—while growing through mentorship and shipped projects.

I build interactive, dynamic game experiences and have presented my work to the public, including an exhibition of “Astercys” at Gamescom Latam 2025. I enjoy communicating ideas clearly and engaging a general audience through playable, immersive environments.

I also teach 2D animation and programming for 3D digital games at Centro Cultural Bom Jardim (CCBJ) in Fortaleza. My classes include frame-by-frame animation with LibreSprite and Aseprite, and animation workflows using timeline, interpolation, and keyframes in Godot 4.

Alongside animation, I teach GDScript programming and support the use of 2D and 3D assets, plus UI/UX directly within Godot. I continue expanding my game production foundation through self-taught development with Godot (3.7 and 4.6), and skills in Blender 3.6 modeling, UV texturing, lowpoly workflows, rigging, and basic shader concepts.
