About

Hi there! I'm Luca.👋

My journey in the digital world began in 2008, at the age of 8, when I created a blog about Club Penguin and started experimenting with web development. This sparked my passion for technology and online communities.

A few years later, in 2011, I discovered Minecraft, and by 2013, I had launched my first Minecraft server. By 2017, I owned and operated the largest Minecraft network in Brazil, which peaked at 8,115 concurrent players. Leading a talented team of developers and game designers, we provided an engaging platform for a thriving community of over 300K monthly players.

In 2022, I transitioned away from Minecraft to fully focus on advancing my career as a Software Engineer. I am now pursuing a degree in Software Engineering at PUC Minas, channeling my skills and experience into new challenges and projects.
