Passionate about combining my programming and artistic skills, I am an experienced Technical Artist and Game Developer. Over the last 7 years, I have contributed to developing the largest 3D military training simulator for the Brazilian Army at SIS-ASTROS. As a small team member, I used many hats and worked on scripting, gameplay, graphics, tools, 3D modeling, proceduralism, and CPU/GPU optimizations.
As a Game Developer, I have experience prototyping and developing features for gameplay and graphics resources, ensuring clean, optimized, and well-structured code. I also investigate and fix performance bottlenecks to enhance the users' immersion experience.
As a Technical Artist, I reduce the artists' workload by creating tools and automated solutions to decorate scenarios procedurally. I also create optimized shaders for real-time games, ensuring a balance between visual quality and performance.

Projects and Main Achievements
Some projects I’ve been involved with. Some of these were in the professional scope and others developed just as a hobby.
Game Optimizations
I investigated and fixed the performance bottlenecks, improving the overall game's performance by +300% in some cases.
Procedural Vegetation System
I designed and developed a robust GPU-based vegetation system capable of handling thousands of trees and small plants efficiently in real-time.
Vector Data Access Optimization
I developed a dynamic structure to optimize access to mass datasets of polygons and polylines, speeding up virtual terrain rendering by +80% on average.
Publications
