He spans the full creative stack—programming, level and UX design, art, and sound design—delivering polished player-facing experiences and maintaining his portfolio at longhathouse.com/games. Early roles in real-time C/C++ audio systems and enterprise Java/COBOL projects gave him a strong foundation in reliable, performance-sensitive engineering.

Notably, João’s background includes both low-level connection engineering and creative game design, a combination that helps him balance technical constraints with playful design.
