Hi! I'm David Guerreiro, a Unity developer, WordPress FullStack developer and Vanilla JS developer, more or less in that order. I love development and experimenting with new technologies and approaches for both the Web, Desktop applications and Videogames. In my free time I'm working in an indie videogame using Unity as my main game engine.
I have been building game prototypes for fun in my free time for around two years, and since early 2019 I have been working as a professional Unity Developer building desktop applications and Software Interfaces. At the moment I'm working in an 2D platform videogame.
I have not released yet any of my Unity projects and those I made professionally in my current position cannot be disclosed due to an NDA, but you can take a look at the code of some of my Unity projects on Github. I have also developed a full game, Vertex. The code is open source so you can check here
I have been building sites using WP as my main CMS for more than 3 years. When I have to approach a new theme development, I take advantage of using the WordPress Theme Architecture at its fullest, allowing me to develop modular, robust and escalable websites with the confidence of having a solid base behind. Using WTA also allows my themes to be fully compatible with most, if not all, the plugins out in the market.
I am also a Progressive Enhancement maniac, so unobtrusive JavaScript and Performance matters to me.
Fully flexible website for a fintech company based in Barcelona, Spain. Flexible layouts were used to allow them to create a wide variety of landing pages. Kantox internal API was also integrated using a REST API wrapper that I developed using JS, PHP and the Curl library.
Spanish website that I made time ago when I worked as a freelance in Spain. I took ownership of the whole process, from discovery and design to built and deployment. The result is a fully working Blog site which uses WordPress template architecture at it fullest.
WordPress plugin that I made by myself to avoid having to re-assign authors to posts after migrating high content sites. The plugin is simple: you choose which author's posts you want to migrate, and then you choose to whom you want to re-assign. With this plugin I put in practice a concept I love: 'Funcional Animation'.
As soon as I join TG0, an high tech start-up based in London, I got in charge of rebuilding their old website. I decided to create a custom WordPress theme from scratch to accomodate their requirements. They needed a site with a modern codebase which meets the latest web development standards and also to be modular. They also had plans to launch a blog and a e-commerce platform from the website, so WordPress was definetely the best option for me to develop the website. I wrote the code for both the Frontend and the Backend of the theme by myself.
Although my main professional focus relies in WordPress and PHP, in recent years I have embraced that dark side of the web that some people call "JavaScript". Jokes aside, I started learning JS in deep due to its flexibility and dynamism when approaching development. I felt fascinated by fact that the same language allowed me to develop almost any piece of software, from very simple websites to complex single page apps and even videogames.
At the moment I am expanding my knowledge by learning in deep JS frameworks like React.js. At the same time, I am also experimeting with videogame development in the web, being Galbalith, a fully RPG made with JS ES5 working natively on the web, one of the most complex and ambitious projects I have ever worked on.
Galbalith is the name of a fully RPG game which will work natively on the web. It will translate the game mechanics and gameplay from old 90s classic RPGs like Final Fantasy and Chrono Trigger. Technically the code is written using OOP Vanilla ES5. Pixie.js is used as a base to load, draw and manipulate graphics on the screen.
This is the prototype of a little interactive game where the player has to defeat three oponents in a row in a rock-paper-scissors game. The final version will be fully developed with Vanilla ES6 classes (current version uses ES5 object prototype linking approach) and will use simple machine learning techniques to increase the difficulty of some of the oponents.
One of my first game development projects using JS. Following a course published by Mozilla I created a simple platform game which works natively in the web browser. It uses Phaser.js to handle all the game physics and graphics manipulation. This game can't be played on mobile as touch screen controls were never implemented on the demo version.
A simple tic tac toe game that I develop using React.js. The game has some unique features to enhance the UX, such us allowing the player to go back to previous game states, or seeing a full history of old previous plays. Using React, I could isolate each component based on their funcionality. Currently, the game is being rebuilt with a new interface and the posibility to play against the CPU.
