¡Hola!👋

I’m a technical and systems game designer, entrepreneur, and software engineer from Colombia (the land of coffee!). I’m passionate about creating unique game experiences through mechanics and systems, games that feel great to play, and to be part of stories that touches people’s heart.

I live in Los Angeles pursuing a Master of Fine Arts in Interactive Media and Game Design at USC Games. I’m also the founder and developer behind arkde.com, an Epic Games Mega Grant-backed independent eLearning platform with more than 1000 students from Latin America and Spain.

All those experiences have shaped me into a creative problem-solver, leader, and fast learner, a detail-oriented designer and engineer with an eye for visual direction, and a professional who prioritizes user feedback when creating experiences.

Last but not least, I want people to remember me in the future as someone who pushed the Latin American game industry forward, helping to have more Latino representation in the industry worldwide.
