Rio de Janeiro, RJ, Brazil
I study computer science at PUC-Rio, on Rio de Janeiro. I saw Swift being introduced by Craig in 2014 and started learning the language since then. I love talking about computer science topics, mainly language design and data structures, on the other hand I love hearing people talk about their favorite subjects, even if it has nothing to do with CS! Hahah This year I started participating at the Apple Developer Academy PUC-Rio and it has been absolutely incredible so far.
Scholarships
Victor has been awarded a WWDC scholarship in 2022. Here is the submission that got him there.
In 2022, applicants were tasked with creating a Swift Playgrounds app project on the topic of your choice to showcase their passion for coding. Here’s how Victor describes his winning submission.
The goal of this Playground app is to talk about graphs, a Discrete Math's concept, and how it's used in the world around us to people who never even heard about this concept. To do that I made a small game called GraphRoad where the player has to build a path for the garbage collection truck to follow, an by doing that the player cleans the streets. Each level presents a bit of knowledge, like what is a graph or what a Hamiltonian Path over a graph means, for example.
