About

With degrees in Systems Analysis and Development and Digital Games, I turned a hobby into a career once the industry finally started growing in Brazil. Today I work as a game designer and Unreal Engine developer focused on UGC: prototyping ideas fast, testing concepts inside the engine and taking whatever works all the way to launch.

What drives me is understanding what fascinates people about games. I like observing that psychology and using it to sharpen the player experience, one decision at a time. I play everything, from indie to AAA, and lately I have been hooked on souls-likes and mobile.

In 2020 I founded Eldritch Games, which today serves brands like Red Bull, Walmart and Compass UOL while running its own original projects. I am also the co-creator of Camp Wars, a five-year dream that built an engaged community before it even became a finished product. I still want to ship games independently, fully aware that doing it alone is impossible: that is why I build a team.
