design & develop

I’m ready to develop and design games for Unity3D, Unreal Engine or even RPG Maker and for multiple platforms, such as desktop or mobile.

I followed my passion for the game industry, taking some degree in video game development at Universidad El Bosque and Universidad de los Andes and courses from SENA.

I keep learning about the game industry while doing some Game Design and Game Development courses and taking game bootcamps.

I also have participated in video game development contests just like Latam Game Idol with two friends, winning the Best Game Design Award. And also won the Best Colombian Game at the Global Game Jam 2016 with the game Nerf Me Plz, I’m too OP.
