Senior Live-Ops Software Engineer at Fortis Games | São Paulo
November 2023 – Present
At Fortis Games, I work as part of the Central Platform team, developing SDKs, tools, and technical documentation in Unity3D + C# to accelerate development across all Game Teams. My work focuses on creating scalable systems, simplifying integrations, and ensuring platform-wide consistency.
I was primarily responsible for the in-game store SDK, enabling games to create products purchasable with real money, virtual currency, or available for free. The SDK supports product rotation, purchase limits, and dynamic visibility rules based on user segmentation such as A/B tests, country, age, or spending habits.
Additionally, I developed the account recovery system integrating Google Play Games and Apple Game Center, overcoming challenges posed by the lack of proper documentation and testing constraints within the Unity Editor.
I also authored pre-production technical documentation to support Product teams’ decision-making, synchronized APIs and tasks between Central Platform and Game Teams, and participated in critical war rooms to resolve live incidents affecting players.
Occasionally, I join Game Teams as an insource developer to support critical deliveries — including contributions to Twilight Towers (Google Play) and two other unannounced titles.
