GAME PROGRAMMER
I always try to tell a story.
Hey there, I'm Leandro Peres, and I'm not just a bunch of text – I'm a real person who's in tune with what people are saying. I've been fortunate to dive into the gaming industry for over 2 years as a Generalist Game Programmer, where I craft experiences that not only catch your eye but also engage your mind.
I've had the pleasure of contributing my skills at LabTIME/UFG in Brazil, where I developed games that made a positive impact in public schools. During my time at SOHNE, I played a pivotal role in successfully launching diverse games across various platforms.
Armed with a degree in Digital Games from Senac Goiás College and a background in Philosophy, I bring a unique perspective to the table. My philosophical insights empower me to think critically and tackle challenges head-on. I'm constantly excited to grasp fresh technologies, ensuring I stay up-to-date with the latest trends and breakthroughs in my ever-evolving field.
In a nutshell, I'm not just your typical game developer – I'm a versatile game enthusiast committed to conjuring up top-notch games that blend enjoyment with education. My toolkit is packed with a mix of skills and a wealth of experiences, all dedicated to creating games that genuinely resonate with players.
So, when you read my words, remember that there's a real person behind them, one who hears the voices and aspirations of the people. 🖖🏻🏳️🌈

Created a 3D graphics application using OpenGL, GLFW, GLM, and GLEW. These libraries provided me with the tools I needed to create a powerful and visually stunning application. I was able to create complex 3D models and render them in real-time with ease. The libraries were easy to use and well-documented, which made the development process much smoother.
I strongly believe in the value of always learning and experimenting. I stay up-to-date with industry trends and technologies, and proactively seek out new learning opportunities. I challenge myself to try new things and put ideas into practice, even if it means taking risks and learning from mistakes. This mindset has been essential for my success, and I am committed to continuing to grow and evolve as a professional.
