About

Hi! I'm João — a passionate enthusiast of series, books and games. Since I was young, I've always been curious about how things work. That curiosity led me to start creating games for my younger brother just for fun, and along the way, I’ve been constantly learning and growing. In addition to my interests in tech and creativity, I also enjoy working to stay active and focused.

Coder/Programmer & Web Developer.

I’m a student laying my groundwork in web and software development—having built simple sites with HTML, CSS and JavaScript, worked on C# Windows Forms in Visual Studio, and created small Unity 2D/3D games—while grasping OOP concepts in C#, C++ and Python.

I’m passionate about growing my skills—whether it’s debugging code, setting up CI/CD pipelines, or contributing to open-source repos—and I’m always eager to take on new challenges.

Resume

Motivated high-school student with hands-on experience in web and game development, eager to apply analytical thinking and creative problem-solving in real-world projects.
