About me
¡Hola!👋
I’m a hybrid Game Designer and Engineer from Colombia with over 7 years of experience in both web and game development. I’m also an award-winning entrepreneur and educator, founder of Colombia’s first game development bootcamp, Unity instructor at multiple universities, and creator of ARKDE, an e-learning platform backed by Epic Games in 2022.
As a Game Designer, I’m passionate about crafting emotionally resonant experiences and systems, games that feel great to play and have the potential to touch someone’s heart. As an engineer, I’ve been coding for over a decade, from web development with PHP and JavaScript to game programming in C# and C++, working with OpenGL, and even setting up CI/CD pipelines on AWS. I simply love building things and never shy away from a technical challenge. I go wherever the problem takes me!
Right now, I’m based in Los Angeles, where I recently completed my MS in Game Design and Development at USC Games, thanks to a scholarship from the George Lucas Foundation.
What else? I love cats, dogs, and coffee (no surprise there, I’m Colombian!). I’m drawn to slow-paced games that make me feel and think. And honestly, I can’t help but seek purpose in everything I do.
