Top SchoolJoão Capucho is a software engineer with nine years of hands-on experience building back-end systems and full-stack features, currently working in telecommunications and networking. He contributes to notable open-source projects like veloren and gfx-rs/naga, where he improved client networking, timeout handling, disconnect acknowledgments, and shader translation support—demonstrating strength in systems-level Rust development. João blends practical engineering with usability improvements (HUD/workflow fixes) and code hygiene (Clippy fixes and refactors) to deliver reliable, maintainable software. Based in Texas and originally from Portugal, he pairs a background in computer science with ongoing master's studies in cybersecurity at Universidade de Aveiro. Colleagues rely on him for pragmatic protocol and performance fixes that quietly prevent production incidents. His GitHub tagline, "Your shaders are mine," hints at a playful but deep expertise in graphics and shader tooling.
