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.

In addition to coding, I’m learning UI/UX workflows in Figma and exploring version control with Git & GitHub. I’ve started experimenting with basic Android apps in Android Studio and simple database tasks in Microsoft Access. 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.

Beyond my core technical tools, I bring strong communication and teamwork to the table—whether I’m pair-programming in Unity or explaining a problem to classmates. I’m adaptable and resilient under pressure, with a keen eye for detail and a constant drive to learn new workflows and best practices.
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. I thrive in collaborative environments, embrace feedback, and am always looking to expand my toolkit—whether that’s mastering a new framework or diving deeper into software architecture.
