Game Vizyon is a web platform for the Brazilian gaming community that I led and developed with friends in my final year of high school. Game Vizyon was born from a simple frustration: my friends and I constantly struggled to track video game prices, find the best deals, and discover what was trending across different stores. Thus, it became clear that the Brazilian gaming scene was missing not just a price-comparison tool, but also a digital community for gamers to discuss and to discover new games.

As the team leader, I spearheaded a team of five students from design to deployment. I was responsible for the UX and UI wireframes (using Figma), building the front-end, and managing our workflow. We used Laravel for the backend, Tailwind CSS for the front-end, MySQL for the database, and the IsThereAnyDeal API for real-time price updates. The platform allowed users to:

• Instantly compare prices across multiple stores in Brazilian currency
• Create and manage custom game lists
• Rate and review games
• Participate in a community forum

What I am most proud of was not just the end product, but also how enjoyable the process truly was. The fact that I had the opportunity to collaborate with my friends, as well as using my creativity to solve a problem that I knew many people faced (including my friends and I) was what made the process the most fun. We wrote technical documents, created a brand identity, and recorded two project videos that presented our concept and prototype, which our classmates loved (one of our teachers couldn’t stop laughing after we presented the video pitch). At the end of it, I had a clearer idea of what kind of builder I wanted to become: one that has a creative vision for solutions, that is open minded and likes to hear what everyone has to say in a team, and one that puts his soul and spirit in every project that he is passionate about. It is this kind of builder that I consider myself to be, and this was the project that solidified my love for building at the intersection of design, technology, and marketing, teaching me about leadership, and collaboration.
