Officially moving to the United States ten years ago, I could have never guessed that my first job of playing video games in a store window to intrigue customers, would lead to my newfound career path as a video game developer. From zero to game developer, I’m a family man at heart who is taking the risk of pursuing both my full-time job & changing career paths, to become one of the best video game developers in the world.

A non-novice in the world of development, I have participated in several game jams & self-releasing a few of the games after creation. Throughout the development process however, I was able to see just how saturated the market truly was. It was at that time, I realized I needed to learn more than just the basic principles of game development. To do that, I had two options: to continue developing & learning from my mistakes through the years, or begin pursuing development full-time & taking classes in coding, concept art, modeling, animation, game design, & other skills to self-create an immersive experience.

Currently working full-time at a large IT firm, married with two children, my life is anything but boring. Most people would probably feel like it’s a risk to change career paths at this time, but I’m not most people. It’s a journey that few would take & that’s what makes it all the more exciting.
