Right now, I'm the founder of Nilo, where I'm building a new game engine that features generative AI asset creation and real-time collaboration.

Earlier I was at Ambient creating a game engine using Rust, WebAssembly and WebGPU.
Before Ambient, I was at Epic Games optimizing Unreal Engine 5 and Fortnite.
Previously, I was at Polystream advancing the adjacent possible of cloud gaming.
Before that, I worked on game engine tech for various console generations on Fable at Microsoft Lionhead and on Risen 3 at Piranha Bytes.

I grew up in Portugal but left shortly after graduating from the University of Lisbon to do a Masters in Games Programming from the University of Hull (one of only two universities to have access to PlayStation 3 devkits at the time).

When I'm not making bytes faster or smaller, you can find me at an Anjunabeats festival somewhere around the world or at home eating a pastel de nata.
