Never give up. Never think about the prize. It is all about the process." - Ricardo Barbosa
Ricardo is a 44 year old software engineer who was born and raised in Portugal. He moved 6 years ago with his family to the United States where he works as an IT Director for a software development company.
During the day, Ricardo has a super busy life, managing his team and also coding in a many different projects. At night, as he likes to say, puts his "indie suit" on , goes to his basement and creates games.
Ricardo is a very experienced programmer and has been coding for many years. In regards to game dev he started with Unity a couple years ago, because of the C# affinity, but moved to Unreal, first with Blueprints and now totally with C++.
He showcases his work under the Twitter handle @hyprblast.
