ABOUT ME
Mobile and Game Software Developer with 13+ years of experience
Mobile and Game Software Developer with 13+ years of experience

It is a fact that the software industry is constantly changing and if a developer is sick of learning, they're in trouble. I know every problem has tools that can provide a solution. But instead of using a one-solution-for-all mindset, I analyze and address each problem separately before deciding which tools to use. This approach is reflected in the way I've built my career and in the quality of products I've worked on.

I love software development in general, but I find the mobile scene stimulates growth throughout the industry and is the space to be in. Also, I believe there is a marriage between elegance and practicality in creating apps that hugely impact end-users. Providing simple yet effective products is what gives me a sense of achievement.

Never stop learning.

iOS platform has been my main focus for the last few years and I've had the chance to handle a lot of different challenges, naming just a few of them: * Text-to-speech with Acapella framework * Voice control with Nuance Dragon SDK and native SDK * Local Storage control with Core Data, Realm and SQLite * Pre-ARC and ARC development * Layout with and without Autolayout * API and web requests Recently I've adopted Swift as the go-to language when starting or migrating projects, and that presented a whole new world of possibilities. With all those resources I've built lots of good projects which are listed in the projects sections below. I even wrote an article comparing Swift and Kotlin: https://www.dailydrip.com/blog/swift-vs-kotlin.html

My experience in the mobile world wouldn't be complete if I didn't give Android a chance, and it stuck with me until now. Elegance and UX are not strong only on iOS apps, and I can help bring the solutions in application form using Android's power. As in iOS, I've also migrated from it's older language, Java, to the new one, Kotlin, which seems to me like a beautiful Swift's sister language.

Although I'm currently using Godot instead of it, I really am very passionate about this tool, is a good all around easy to use game engine, doesn't allow the level of code control I like to have but is excellent to create amazing games and interactive experiences for clients and end users without taking a huge amount of effort.

After spending previous years with Unity and HaxeFlixel, me and my team decided it was time to found something in between, we needed both visual tool and better code control and we found what we were looking for in Godot Game Engine. GDScript is similar to Python and now we can start using C# also. Our first project with it is set to launch in 2019, a multiplayer action game for PC gamers.

An important task of developing games is to pick the right game engine for the job. As such, I spent some time with HaxeFlixel to see if it could fit my indie development group needs. HaxeFlixel uses Haxe, and for us, it handled our two main objectives at that time: cross-platform and code control. We spent a year creating games, the first version of an IP that is set to launch in 2019 was made for a game jam using HaxeFlixel, it also helps in the process of porting Flixel's Flash games to easier to handle game engine.

For a good reason Javascript is one of those languages that is impossible not using at some point as a developer. As such I have some back and forth relationship with it in building websites, admin dashboards and my own personal projects. Recently I decided to give it more space in my toolbelt using Node.js to build both front-end and back-end applications.

For two years I had the chance to teach classes at the same graduation course I specialized into, Games: production and development. At the first year, I lectured mobile game development using CoronaSDK as the main tool. At the second year, I lectured Game Engine using Unity3D as the main tool.

While working at Hummingbird I had the chance to help rebuilt the app of one of the biggest Telecomms in Brazil. The highlights are in the efforts we made to replace features in the current app instead of just creating everything from ground zero and replacing the whole app. In order to do so, a feature toggle system was created and used to say when and for who each piece of feature would be available. Along with that, we reformulated the visuals to be more appealing and also created a better UX.

In Concil Card App users can check their selling through cards and have better control of finances. All data can be filtered by date and have details according to card types and transactions types, among other important financial data for business health. This project as the first one I built entirely on Swift/Kotlin from the start and was built with white label in mind as the same project is going to be present in the mobile app stores under other brands.
