    I have 17 years of experience in programming, 12 years making games and my studio has released successful titles with Disney, Nickelodeon, and other clients. I am a senior game development engineer and I have led my company’s teams for different projects that have been released on mobile, pc and consoles. Running a small indie team makes you wear many hats. For that reason, I have also worked in different areas like team management, game design, 3D modeling, 3D and 2D animation, graphic design, UI animation, video editing and audio editing. As part of my lead role, I usually train my team members in different areas. Additionally, I have taught these subjects in universities and to young professionals for an accumulated time of 3 years. I love training people and I have been successful building teams from the ground up. As a technical director in my studio, I have devoted a great part of my engineering time to create development tools that will empower my team to achieve better outcomes, faster. Recently, I created and released an open-source animation engine for Unity called MotionKit, similar to DOTween. As compared to DOTween, MotionKit has groundbreaking inspector capabilities. Everything that can be done via scripting, can be achieved with the Unity editor component too. I have spent about 4 years building this software and it has been forged by using it in multiple projects done in my studio. I built an interactive music engine with an editor UI, called Tori. It is an interactive approach to music. Players can affect the music and the music can affect the game. It is the result of engineering interactive music solutions for my studio since 2011. It has been used in Moana: Rhythm Run (Disney) and JoJo Siwa Worldwide Party (Nickelodeon). Additionally, I have created several other editor and runtime tools for my own game development methodology. I have been granted a Distinguished Talent Visa that gives me the status of permanent resident of Australia and I'm currently living in Melbourne.
