My Motivation
Developer since 1999
Interactive media has always fascinated me. Ever since I had access to personal computers, I would find ways to customize the user interface, create animations, and modify video games. I also built custom gaming computers for friends before that was even a thing.
From web ...
In 1999 I landed my first job at a small local agency. I was tasked to learn HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and Flash ActionScript in order to create 2 commercial websites.
... to game development...
After joining a work experience project at Lionhead Studios in the UK, I shifted my focus to 3D characters and environments for video games.
Video game creation (and finishing) requires a lot of problem-solving, a wide array of artistic and communication skills, as well as a high degree of discipline and self-motivation.
After working on multiple commercial titles, I decided to release my own games and delivered 2 high-quality titles: ENYO Arcade and Temple of Rust to more than 70.000 players.
...and back
Modern web technologies are amazing and highly accessible. Today, the limit is our imagination. So I'm back to apply my knowledge of creating enjoyable experiences for the most inclusive platform: the World Wide Web.
I have a deep understanding of performance-critical and maintainable software architecture, visual design, and animation principles combined with the required organizational skills to get things done.
I am able to provide others with tools that allow them to simplify complex repetitive tasks or visualize dynamic information.
