01 About

I'm a software engineer who has spent the last nine years at Jam City. I started there as a Unity/C# developer on Panda Pop and Snoopy Pop, and moved into the Central Tech team, where I now work as a platform architect.

Today my work sits between the game and everything around it: native SDKs for Android and iOS, the microservices behind them, and making sure all of that plugs cleanly into Unity, C++ and AS3 clients.

Before games I was a full-stack developer for the Buenos Aires City Government. I studied Game and Interactive Media Design at Escuela Da Vinci.
