What I'm looking for

I seek roles building scalable, performant game systems—preferably in collaborative, cross-functional teams—where I can drive architecture, optimization, and live-ops improvements.

I am a game developer with a strong foundation in systems architecture, performance optimization, and cross-platform development, educated at the National Technological University (UTN) in Mar del Plata. I have shipped updates for a mobile title with over 100M downloads and built commercial-grade projects independently.

My work blends low-level programming (C++, GLSL) with high-productivity engines like Unity using C#; I apply SOLID principles and design patterns (Command, Observer, Factory) to keep codebases maintainable and scalable. I also develop tools, integrate real-time backend services with Firebase, and manage full project lifecycles including version control and cross-platform testing.

I enjoy solving performance bottlenecks, designing rendering pipelines, and creating modular gameplay systems that support live-ops and rapid iteration. I aim to contribute to teams that value robust architecture, measurable optimization, and delivering engaging player experiences.
