21 years working in the planning, development and distribution of projects in game development and mobile fields, contributing on a very large number of devices, platforms and middleware’s.
I have solid experience in project management, Platforms SDK´s, R&D and emerging tech. I´ve been working in both fields (strategical and technical) alongside with managers and executives to establish partnerships, new projects, as well as define standards and solutions for customers, partners and manufacturers.
I´m always close to technical teams, helping products ecosystem layers such as requirements, architecture, programming and design.
I had an amazing experience working in Montréal (Canada), helping production teams to publish mobile AAA titles on international markets. I also took courses on some industry standard tools and game engines (2008, 2010, 2011).
It is noteworthy that I had previous experience in the sports field, working as a professional basketball player for over 10 years in clubs such as CCRN, Sorocaba and Club Athletico Paulistano. This experience taught me several values that I apply within the corporate area.
