About

With 17+ years of professional experience, 8 of which I spent managing projects and leading in-house, remote, and outsourced international teams, I am confident in my commercial, technical and creative skills to carry out any project to fruition. As a generalist, I am adept at game design and development, product management, creative direction, development tracking, roadmapping, workflow and project planning, KPI analysis, technical documentation, regulatory compliance, content creation, marketing strategies, client onboarding and customer engagement.

Throughout my career, I've familiarized myself with technologies and their usage such as game engines, integrated development environments, object oriented programming languages, vector and bitmap graphic design software, 3D modelling, 3D and 2D level design, non-linear scriptwriting, interactive storytelling, social media advertising, localisation, quality assurance, storyboarding, concept art, video editing, voice acting, singing, and sound design. Additionally, I am fluent in Spanish (my mother tongue), English (native level) and Japanese (N2).

• As a Product Manager, I oversaw, guided, managed and tracked the development of seasonal P2A, P2E and R2E releases including delivery and tracking prizes as well as detection of misbehavior, tracking and distributing prizes calculated via formula on relational databases and spreadsheets.
• I managed tasks and projects, with a weekly sprint methodology conceived for a fast-paced ideation-design-engineering-QA implementation pipeline.
• I coordinated and acted as a bridge between teams, advising on creative, commercial and technical strategies, contributing also to recruitment processes.
• I managed assets, expanded lore and worldbuilding, designed and balanced economies, carried out UI/UX design, and pitched products and features, including core game features such as progression systems, as well as support features such as authentication and payments.
• I also did hands-on creative and engineering work using databases, and game engines like Godot and Unity, with C#, gdscript and unityscript.
• All the above while ensuring quality standards by designing and running automated and manual test cases, as well as managing and guiding support efforts, leading community contests and events for highly-engaged Discord and X communities.
• All of this was achieved by leveraging the use of Generative and Non-Generative AI tools, from art to product management to engineering.
