About
Hi, I am Vasco Correia, a Portuguese professional game developer and programmer. With a strong passion for technology, cosmology, and astronomy, my curiosity is piqued by the recent advancements in machine learning and artificial intelligence, and the potential impact they will have on the world.
The vastness and enigmatic nature of the cosmos never fail to amaze me. With each passing year, I find myself more intrigued by the mysteries of the universe and the continuous (almost inherent) efforts of humanity to unravel its secrets.

Education
My educational journey began at Instituto Superior de Engenharia de Lisboa (ISEL), where I studied Electrical, Communication, and Computer Engineering for two years. However, during that time, I realized that something was missing for me in that particular degree.
After careful consideration, I made a bold decision to change my course of study to pursue something that truly brought me joy. That’s when I embarked on the path of Games and Apps Development at the Faculty of Design, Technology, and Communication (Iade), and graduated in 2023 and I have never looked back since.
In this new field of study, I found the perfect blend of my logical thinking abilities and my passion for creativity. It was a refreshing change that allowed me to engage my mind in a way that resonated with my interests.
During my studies I learnt the following:
- Game Design ( Studied the Industry and Developed Games Under a Studio Environment )
- Data structures (Linked Lists, Graphs)
- Artificial Intelligence (Behaviour state machine, pathfinding)
- Distributed Programming(Threads, client-server architecture)
- High Level languages(C#, Javascript, Lua, HTML, CSS)
- Low Level Languages(C++)
- Databases (MySQl, SQL)
- Game Engines (Unity, Unreal Engine 4)
- Multiplayer Development (RPCs, Replication)
