About Me.

My interest is in the creation of tools and helping my fellow teammates improve create new things and improve their workflow with it. For example, in one of my projects in my portfolio, that being my final project at the university, I created a tool for Unity aimed at artists or designers that would help them create crowds of characters. In it, they could implement their code or assets in a simple way that would speed up their scene-dressing job.
Most of my personal projects always come from interest or curiosity, and it is by creating and exploring that I grow and develop my coding abilities expanding my areas of knowledge and being more versatile for tool creation. I always research the area of interest and try to understand what I’m interested in it. Then, I try to create something using both what I have learned and my previous knowledge, to hopefully create something that works and maybe I can use in the future in other projects.
