He participated in several gamesjams where he created more than twenty mini games, also collecting some prizes and highlights in national and international events. He was part of the national studio Nerd Monkeys, where he has already released two games and was invited as a speaker in lectures on the Game Maker event at several universities. He is currently developing his first solo indie commercial project: "Exophobia".
