What I'm looking for

I seek a dynamic team that values creativity and innovation in game development.

I am a passionate Game Programmer and Sound Designer with a strong foundation in game development and audio design. My journey began with a Master’s degree in Game Programming from CEI in Valencia, where I honed my skills in C++ and Unity. I have collaborated on multiple game projects, focusing on creating immersive experiences that captivate players. My recent role as a Game Programmer at EXTERN involved designing and implementing features while optimizing game performance.

In addition to my programming expertise, I have two years of experience as a freelance Sound Designer, where I created sound effects and designed audio for various video games and indie films. My work has allowed me to collaborate closely with artists and animators, ensuring that the audio complements the visual elements seamlessly. I am currently spearheading sound design for an innovative project at PlayStation Talents, where I utilize advanced techniques to craft dynamic audio environments.
