Hi, I'm Alvaro 👋

Game developer, full-stack engineer, and quantum computing enthusiast based in London.
I build games from the ground up (custom engines, physics, AI systems), ship full-stack web applications with modern tooling, and apply quantum algorithms to real-world optimisation problems. Passionate about interactive experiences, low-level systems, and the intersection of emerging technology with software engineering.

🎮 What I Build

  • Game engines & games - Raycasting engines, Unreal Engine 5 (Blueprints, AI Behaviour Trees, physics)
  • Full-stack applications - FastAPI backends, React/Next.js frontends, AI-integrated pipelines, authentication systems, CRM tools
  • Quantum computing - QAOA optimisation, QUBO problem encoding, procedural generation via IBM Qiskit
  • Tools & scripts - Python CLI tools, data visualisation, automation
