Hey, I'm Pedro – a game programmer from Leiria who's all about building stuff that actually runs well. I've spent the last few years neck-deep in engines (custom ones, Unity, Unreal), optimizing everything from batch rendering to object pooling because nobody likes dropped frames. Whether it's C++, C#, or shader code, I'm down to make games that feel tight and play smooth. Currently looking for the next project where performance and gameplay come together.…Hey, I'm Pedro – a game programmer from Leiria who's all about building stuff that actually runs well.
