About Me
Hi, my name’s Nuno and I’m an aspiring Game Developer.
I am most skilled in: Unity, java and Throwing Games
Projects
Project for Game Development Methodology course. First project I did in unity with a group of 3 other programmers.
The course asked us to apply our knowledge to make a game. We decided to make a cooperative assymetrical game where one player is a thief and moves around the map and the other is a hacker that guides the player through the map.
Project for the course Computer Graphics for Games.
In this course we learnt about game engine software development. From rendering to character animation and physics. In this project we developed a version of a game engine with open-gl with our own math library. We implemented Bloom and SSAO(Screen space ambient occlusion). They are Cyber Noodles because in the beginning we wanted to created a cyberpunk noodle shop.
First time participating in a Game jam
The theme for this game jam was “What home means to you”. We created a top down 2D game developed in
Game Jam Project during the COVID Times
The theme for this game jam was “Lost & Found”. We created a 2D platformer developed in
Experience
Worked as part of my MSc Thesis
Researched Procedural Content Generation applied to Cooperative Games Created a Procedural Level Generator using a Genetic Algorithm that generated levels for Geometry Friends.
Worked as a software developer and devops
Worked on a lot of different areas including creating microservices using Spring Boot, Jenkins pipelines, deployments for Kubernetes and Openshift Clusters. Using many different tools such as Elasticsearch, Kafka, Prometheus, Grafana. Used GIT and agile methodology during development.
Education
Instituto Superior Técnico
BSc Information Systems and Computer Engineering
