I’m a just starting out game developer who also works as a game tester (QA/LQA) and translator. I’m fluent in English, Spanish, and Dutch, and I’m strong at spotting issues others miss—whether that’s a gameplay bug, confusing UI flow, or a translation that sounds “correct” but doesn’t feel natural. What I do best: Game development (junior): prototype support, testing mechanics, organizing features, and writing clear documentation to keep projects moving. Game testing / QA: structured functional testing, clear bug reports (steps to reproduce, expected vs. actual, severity), and UI/UX feedback focused on player experience. Localization / translation: translation and localization between EN/ES/NL, proofreading AI-translated text, terminology consistency, and making copy sound natural and culturally appropriate (especially for apps/games). I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and easy to communicate with. I can follow instructions precisely, deliver on deadlines, and I’m always focused on producing clean, useful results.

I have a large variety of work, I have created music and sound effects for films, games, theatre and stand-alone projects. Also having worked as a filmmaker game creator and graphic designer I have a clear understanding of artistic purposes within a film or videogame and can compose music that combines with it seamlessly. I have won several awards including best music and best sound design at the 48-hour film project. I can create music using samples as well as write down sheet music and have it recorded by live musicians. I also play over 10 instruments which I can all use to record including guitar, piano, drums, trumpet, saxophone, cello contra bass and more.

If you have a product idea you want to bring to life, I can help you turn it into something you can eventually hold in your hands. I’m a hands-on Mechanical Engineer with over 9 years of experience developing products from the first sketch all the way to fully functional prototypes. I work across every stage of the design process, including concept development, CAD modeling, manufacturing, testing, and assembly. Over the years, I’ve gained practical experience with a wide range of fabrication methods such as laser cutting, creating precise DXF files, CNC machining, milling, lathe work, and general mechanical assembly. This means you’re not just getting a designer, but someone who understands how a product is actually built and how it needs to function in the real world. Whether you need a clear product concept, detailed 3D models, functional prototypes, or a design refined for production, I can support your project from beginning to end. I can help you move smoothly through the entire development process, from the initial idea to a prototype you can test and hold. From the first conversation to the final result, you will always know where your project stands. If you’re ready to turn your idea from an initial thought into a physical product, I’d be happy to help you take that next step.
