About

Hi there, stranger — pleased to meet you!

I'm Vasco Cruz, a Portuguese developer with a Bachelor's in Information Technologies and a Master's in Computer Science. I'm currently a Technical Consultant at Deloitte. Outside of work, my focus is on growing as a Technical Game Designer by building my own projects.

The things I enjoy most in life are the company of the people I'm fond of, listening to music, and playing video games. That last one is the reason this portfolio exists, and the reason I'm so focused on my main goal: becoming a game developer.

I've devoted a lot of time and effort to learning everything I can about game design and development, from game dev classes in college to online resources, to build my own games and demos. My focus is technical game design and gameplay programming, with a soft spot for game AI.

I'm certain that someday I'll add complete, launched games to this portfolio. Until then, I'm probably working on more projects and fixing bugs.
