Você já deve ter entrado num ciclo negativo em algum momento da sua vida. Há chances de que você esteja nele agora mesmo! Mas não se preocupe, tudo tem uma solução nessa vida, menos para a morte (ainda). Um ciclo negativo funciona da…

Sinto falta de quando eu não ia para a cama de noite sentindo um nó no estômago que nunca me deixa em paz.
Enquanto você acreditar que algo é impossível, você vai estar certo.
Quem quer fazer tudo com perfeição, acaba não fazendo nada.
A vida é uma sucessão de adaptações, de encontros e desencontros, de aprendizados constantes.
A pergunta real é: o que você faria se não tivesse medo?
Nada veio fácil para mim, não importava o quanto eu acreditasse que viria.
Saber que você tem que melhorar é o primeiro passo para o progresso. Encontrar boas maneiras de progredir, é o segundo passo.
Mal posso acreditar que, depois de 5 anos tentando atingir essa meta, finalmente está chegando o dia em que isso se tornará realidade.
Você escreve a sua própria história e é dono do seu destino.

The same curiosity that studies systems also keeps trying to turn feeling into form.
Alisson David Frangullys is a Brazilian-born builder from Curitiba, now based in Richmond, Virginia. Engineering school, software, games, and Portuguese writing all feed the same habit: understand the system, then make something real with it.
His public work splits into two linked identities: davidluky for projects, code, and tools; @alisson_frangullys for the person behind the experiments, study notes, and daily life.
He graduated from Virginia Commonwealth University in 2022 after studying electrical engineering and physics, with an earlier chapter at UTFPR in Curitiba. That training still shapes the work: measure the constraints, learn the moving parts, and ship the usable version.
Games were the doorway. Tibia, Steam, The Room, and AI game experiments became a long study of systems, communities, economies, and why digital worlds feel alive.
Writing keeps the other half visible. Textosdi.versos turns private feeling into a public discipline: original Portuguese texts, fragments, and attempts to give shape to what code cannot say cleanly.
Engineer-minded developer building games, web tools, automation, and Portuguese writing.
2009
Steam, Tibia, and online communities turned games from entertainment into systems worth studying.
2014
A Curitiba chapter at UTFPR sat beside the curiosity that moved from playing systems to building scripts, tools, and early experiments.
2017–2022
Studied electrical engineering and physics at Virginia Commonwealth University, graduating with the class of 2022.
2022
Worked on a K-12 educational VR/AR engineering project, connecting technical systems with learning.
2023
Built life and work in Richmond, Virginia, carrying the same Brazilian voice into a new context.
2024
Expanded the long-running RPG project into a React web client with Firebase.
2026
Math practice, AI/game experiments, automation, mobile work, and public writing all became part of the same body of work.
2026
Planned and printed a modular kumiko-style wall panel on a Bambu Lab P1S, the first structured 3D-print build from BOM to wall mount.
Now
A public Portuguese writing practice for original texts, fragments, and verses.

Electrical engineering and physics taught me to respect constraints.
Before the web projects and game systems, there were circuits, physics labs, models, and the habit of asking what can be measured before deciding what should be believed.
VCU's public capstone archive lists my senior project as ECE 22-401: Development of K-12 Educational Virtual and Augmented Reality (VR) Programs.
That mix still feels accurate: technical systems, learning, and tools people can actually touch.
See the VCU capstone listingI build the tools and worlds I wish existed.
The Room started as a C++ desktop project because I wanted a multiplayer RPG with its own rules, economy, chat, tournaments, and sense of place.
That same impulse now shows up in Matemática Elementar, the Painel da Vida life simulation, and a Mega Man X project with gameplay videos and a public roadmap. Alongside them are web clients, automation tools, and small utilities. If a system keeps bothering me, I eventually try to build a better version.

Textosdi.versos is my Portuguese writing practice: original texts, verses, and fragments that try to make emotion precise without making it sterile. The archive now lives here too, with reading by date, theme, and search.
It balances the technical side. Building systems teaches structure; writing keeps the human part from disappearing inside it.
Explore the writing archiveI like understanding a system deeply enough to make it useful, playable, or honest enough to share.
Engineering, physics, games, and code reward the same patience: learn the system well enough that the work can survive contact with reality.
A project often starts as a personal itch: a problem that keeps returning, a game I wish existed, or a sentence that will not leave me alone. The work is giving it a form someone else can enter.
The best version of my work keeps the system clear and the human signal intact.
Essa ideia que temos de perfeição é pura ilusão – e ninguém chega nela sem começar a dar os primeiros passos tortos.
