About Me:
Currently specializing and actively looking for great experiences on the art and science of crafting video games, while
formally studying the field at an accredited university. I have moved to USA looking to find a game development
related job, since there’s still no game development industry at PR commonwealth. Game development is my true
passion. I studied information technology (IT) and worked at it for a really long time, always growing better and
escalating positions, but also with a great deal of curiosity and hope to one day be able to make a ‘switch’ from IT to
the field of games / multimedia apps development.
Back when it was time for me to receive formal education, game development was not considered a profession, thus
there were no schools offering related degrees, so I ended up choosing IT as my primarily field of studies. My second
best choice for a career back then, giving my interests in general. For these reasons I have a past at the IT industry,
which I must said I love, since even though I’m currently focused at the game development industry as main target, I’m
just passionate at technology related stuff in general. Another field I’ll love to dig into at some point is robotics. I have
already gained an understanding of how control systems works. I practiced it a tad by implementing open hardware
EFI control systems.
Finally I love teaching others too, because of this, I ended up enjoying a really nice experience of being professor of
game development at a recognized academic institution at PR commonwealth. I loved it and thus I’m willing to work at
any educational game development related opportunities too.

Business Experience:
2013-Present UMET Unity 3D Game Programming / Game Art Professor – Student of Video Game Science and Art
Ana G. Mendez System – Metropolitan University (UMET) - Puerto Rico
Position : Continued Education Professor
Course : Game Programming with Unity 3D
Description : Teach an Introductory course into the usage of Unity 3D game engine. Oriented towards learning to

basic computer programming techniques, theory. Outcome of the class: Basic working prototype of simple game
mechanics in a cohesive way.
Course : Game Art
Description : Teach an Introductory course into the usage of a 3D software package for the creation of 3D game assets
content. We used Blender 3D because of its powerful capabilities, small foot print and accessibility on part of the
students to it. Introduction to Unity 3D interface and introduction to the concept or importing 3D game assets as both
.Obj for static meshes and .Fbx for meshes with animation. Demonstrated the concept of exporting 3D game content
as ‘ready-to-include’ scenes in Unity’s .unitypackage format. Outcome of the class: 3D art assets produced by the
students, UV’ed and Textured, with material variations on them. Exported from Blender and imported into Unity 3D,
fine tune them, and lastly exported as .unitypackage so they can be easily imported into existing Unity 3D projects.
