About Me.
Hi! I’m Eduardo from Mexico
From an early age, I had an interest in technology and programming, especially video games. When I was 14 years old, I got into programming. Eventually, I decided to study a Bachelor of Computer Engineering at the National Autonomous University of Mexico.
I started to study Unity by myself some months before graduation, and after 1 year I managed to get certified as an Associate Unity game Developer, since then it has been a journey.
I’ve participated in game jams where I’ve met and learned from many people involved in the game industry, from pixel artists to narrative writers. Also, I’ve been learning new concepts and technologies to play a better role in projects where I could participate.
As a gameplay programmer, I aim to bring to life the ideas written in a paper, securing a high-quality level and optimization. Although things can be complicated that’s never stopped me. This is the path I chose and the one I want to follow.
