Hi, I'm Pedro.
I'm a software engineer working on games and simulations.
Previously, I was building multiplayer games at Synthesis, an ed-tech startup that uses games to teach kids collaboration and valuable real-world skills.
Among all the challenges involved and the dedication needed to make a game, what I like the most about game development is how fairly simple concepts can be layered together to create such complex experiences. In the end, it all starts with a while-true loop.
I've been involved with game development in quite a variety of scenarios, such as creating game modes on modding platforms, building game UIs with modern Web frameworks, using commercial engines or not using commercial engines, multiplayer, browser games, and tooling.
My diverse experiences in game development have not only broadened my skill set but also helped me become comfortable navigating the unknown and quickly adapting to new challenges.
I firmly believe in the power of continuous learning. It's not about taking things for granted, but about constantly striving to understand the problems we are trying to solve better.
