Márcio Eduine Bravo Caquarta

Self-taught Game Developer since 2016 — starting with no-code tools before moving into full programming in 2018 — and Software Engineer specialising in Database Architecture and Data at 42 Luanda.

My technical core is built on Data-Oriented Design (Entity Component System - ECS), Finite State Machines (FSM), and advanced animation systems such as Root Motion, alongside low-level systems programming in C99 and C++98. I also work across Godot Engine, Unreal Engine, Blender 3D, and have working knowledge of Unity Engine.

I bring a QA mindset to everything I build: self-directed testing and code review on personal projects since 2018, peer code review and evaluation as both Cadet/Transcender and evaluator at 42 Luanda since 2023, and formal automated test-suite architecture (GUT / command-line automation) on the Digital Twin simulator project. My philosophy is 'single-click' efficiency: turning intricate engineering challenges into elegant, automated solutions.
