Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAndré L. Alvares is a São Paulo–based game programmer and professor with 11 years’ experience specializing in Unity and C for mobile and AR projects, plus hands-on work deploying and maintaining titles on digital stores. He builds both games and the underlying tech: author of a C/SDL2 game framework called Nene with FFI code generation and a commercial release, and an active contributor to wasm4 tooling and Nelua bindings. He teaches game development and quality engineering topics across institutions, blending practical production knowledge with pedagogy. Comfortable in systems-level languages (C, C++, Rust) and engine/tooling development, he’s recently focused on open-source contributions and optimization for constrained platforms. An often-overlooked strength is his combined fluency in design, QA and low-level systems, which helps him ship performant, maintainable games end-to-end.
