Education
Technical Degree in Video Game Development I.M.A.G.E. Campus · 2022 – 2026

For my whole life, I’ve chased videogames as an art medium and a form of expression. I’ve laughed with family in playful competition and been moved by emotional, deeply impactful experiences. Since joining the industry, my hunger for knowledge and my desire to tell meaningful stories have only grown.

I’ve worked for five years as a Game Programmer, contributing to Game Design on various projects. I’ve learned to design and implement stable, scalable systems that support a game’s core pillars, and I’ve had the pleasure of collaborating with colleagues who taught me best practices for teamwork, project collaboration, and effective communication.

I’m now eager to bring my experience, creativity, and technical skills to new projects, helping to craft games that engage, challenge, and inspire players.
