Samuel Batista

Born and raised in Portugal, I moved to the USA to pursue my dream of becoming a video game developer.

After graduating from Full Sail University with a degree in Game Development, I spent nearly a decade developing games at Firaxis and Big Huge Games.

Never content with the status quo, I learned how to build websites and complex web applications using React, Node and other modern web technologies.

In my free time I play video games, contribute to open source software, participate in hackathons and tackle new projects to keep growing as a developer.

I love programming, open source software, video games, economics, teaching & learning.
