In 2023, I decided to commit more deeply to C++ and computer graphics. Since then, I have been building my experience mainly through personal projects, trying to understand not only how to use the tools, but what happens behind them. Working directly with OpenGL, shader pipelines and custom memory allocators has given me a more practical view of the relationship between the code and the pixels on screen. I am currently studying Vulkan to deepen that understanding of how computer graphics works.

It was also through game development that my interest in writing appeared. I realised that a good story can be as important to an experience as the technology behind it. Over time, I became more and more interested in narrative and world-building. At the beginning of 2026, that interest stopped being just a part of game development and became a project of its own: I started writing a book, which is the literary project I am working on now.
