I have been working with games for 10 years and the 8 last ones as a Game Producer / Project Manager with more than 20 shipped games for PC, mobile and board. I am a certified ScrumMaster (CSM), specialist with an MBA in Project Management and graduated in Design.

My most important game development projects are the social game Turma do Chico Bento, that reached 2 million MAU (monthly active users), and the educational game UCAN, world champion on Imagine Cup 2011. Here you will find these and other gamedev challenging projects of my career.

I've been working at Riot Games in Brazil for 3 years, first time on the publishing-side of industry.

The Ironman Netshoes game purpose a quiz with fun aspects, where the employees answer topcis about the company in 4 sports: running, cycling, swimming and soccer.

project challenges

  • The client briefed us that their HR team needs a quiz game where they could manage the questions in an autonomous way. So we developed a tool which they easily manage all the content;
  • Our client's vision was something so funny than recent successful quiz games, like QuizUp and Trivia Crack. In the other hand we had a small budget, that made it impossible to develop multiplayer features. Then we took care of the small detais of art, audio and gameplay to deliver a funny game. In the end, we really laughed with the animations of falling.

project challenges

  • The project started with just 5 guys and reached in a team of 25. I've started as a 3D animator and became Art Manager to lead a team of 10 artists;
  • The company committed the most common mistake of start-ups: begin with a high complex project, like a MMORPG. After 1 year and half the project was cancelled because of budget and I've realized how important is the project manager role.
