Matheus Simões

Promoted to Senior Developer and Lead Product Owner, owning product decisions and technical direction for interactive projects. Build VR/AR/XR experiences in Unity (OpenXR, Meta SDK) end-to-end with gameplay programming, shaders, and performance optimization under live-event deadlines.

Founded and led an end-to-end studio covering proposal, pricing, architecture, development, and deployment across Unity, Unreal Engine 5, and web. Developed VR digital-twin training simulations and an AI-powered WhatsApp assistant SaaS with LLM integration and tiered subscription pricing.

Developed a VR + AI product that generates dynamic construction models by combining a Unity (C#) client with a .NET and Python/PyTorch backend for computer vision. Shipped to major app stores and implemented in-app payments, including automated CI/CD with GitHub Actions.

Built a multiplayer corporate game in Unity (WebGL) with internal messaging, submissions, voting, and quiz systems. Designed and implemented an AWS backend using PHP and JavaScript with MySQL REST APIs consumed by the Unity client, supported by GitHub Actions CI/CD pipelines.

Independently created educational games and interactives for K-12 public education in Unity, Construct 3, and Phaser. Owned development through portal approval and published WebGL/mobile builds via AWS.

Promoted from Game Developer to Team Leader and led the team shipping 20+ hypercasual mobile titles in Unity/C# to Google Play. Integrated Android and Facebook SDKs and owned the delivery pipeline and code standards.

Developed a Web/mobile NFT game in Unity/C#, implementing marketplace and blockchain integrations. Worked on game systems integrating decentralized components.

Built freight-quotation web features using ASP.NET MVC, C#, JavaScript, and MySQL, with versioning on Microsoft Azure. Contributed to web functionality supporting quotation workflows.

Delivered a Unity/C# parametric-design software solution with WebGL deployment in a short 3-month engagement. Worked in English with weekly client meetings, using Kanban and Git/GitHub for planning and versioning.

Developed a VR exposure-therapy system grounded in CBT, with AI mediation to adapt session difficulty in collaboration with psychologists. Implemented in Unity/C#, targeting Google Cardboard and later Meta Quest 2, including MRTK2 experiments and ongoing thesis work with local LLM integration.

Activities and societies: Work focused on computer vision and LLM integration for games/XR (thesis project).

Pursuing an M.Sc. in Computer Science with a Machine Learning specialization, applying computer vision and Large Language Model (LLM) integration to games and XR.

Activities and societies: Undergraduate research on a VR exposure-therapy system for social phobia, using AI mediation to adapt session difficulty; built in Unity/C# and experimented with device targets (e.g., Google Cardboard and Meta Quest 2).

Completed a B.Eng. in Computer Engineering at the Catholic University of Petrópolis (UCP).
