It's a me, jose!I'm a 24 year old Portuguese boy (not man yet, so my mum says), that's been working in the gaming industry for over 3 years now.
It all started as it always does, playing lots of video games as kid. In my teens I developed an interest for programming, started experimenting, and flew off the nest to the UK to study Computer Science. Since then I finished my Masters, and joined Jagex in Cambridge to work on the acclaimed MMO RuneScape. I've always been keen on writing well-engineered game systems, which can easily be plugged into and extended, and that's mostly what I've been up to inside Jagex. A lot of these happened to have a big client side and GUI components, so I naturally developed an interest for good user interactions and experience. Outside the office I'm a sports fan, playing football, tennis and swimming when I can (which isn't nearly as often as I should!), love travelling (5 points to Griffindor if you guess where the picture was taken), and dable in guitar playing, both acoustic and electric. Make yourself at home, browse around, and I hope you like what you see :) |
