About the courseA LITTLE ABOUT ME
Thinking bigger
since 2021.
I’m Marcantonio, a second-year Computer Engineering student at Toronto Metropolitan University. Based in GTA.
Building is how
I learn.
I’m drawn to technical product development and the space where hardware meets software.
I started building in 2021, making Roblox games in Lua with small online teams. That turned into Cloudform, a game-development and early software company I co-founded and led as CEO until 2026. Our team delivered eleven maps for our game The Lost Jungle, and I learned how much planning, communication and scope decide whether a project actually gets finished. Our motto was “Think Bigger,” and it still shapes how I take on projects.
At TMU I’m building the engineering foundation: Java object-oriented programming, C, digital logic in VHDL and electronic circuits. This fall I joined the software team at TMU Velocity, where I’m learning ROS 2 by working on autonomous race cars. Alongside school I’m working through Harvard’s CS50x.
Outside engineering I’m a photographer (twice winning my high school’s Arts Fest photography award), a self-taught guitarist, and a former competitive dancer. Eight years of dance taught me discipline and how to learn fast when the plan changes.
LEARNING NOW
Certification
in progress.
