About
Who am I?
My main role is as a Game Designer, but I consider myself a generalist professional. Since designing experiences is one of my biggest passions, I have been interested in many different activities throughout my life, such as video editing, scripting, animating, drawing, developing websites and apps... Today I dedicate myself to creating games, but I know that each one of these activities were fundamental to my career.
Currently, my goal is to work at a company that strives to develop meaningful games alongside equally passionate people.

What is it like working with me?
As a coworker, I am very respectful, always sharing ideas, asking for feedback, and willing to help others. As a professional, I am extremely passionate about what I do, I always keep myself cheerfull and have a genuine interest in learning. Furthermore, I value autonomy above all and strongly believe that a game finds its best version when made by a united team.

“I worked with Cesar for 2.5 years […] During this time, it was possible to work on several projects with him, and in each project it was possible to see all the effort of his work, both in research, documentation, prototyping, and in some cases, system development and animations.”
