The most amazing...
...project I've worked on was a port of XNA to C++ with OpenGL from scratch. I then made a game on top of it with high-end graphics.

- Served on the directive board, viewing the business as an engineer and as an administrator.
- Configured and studied analytics to understand user behavior within the mobile application.
Lead Engineer
Waving LLC
- Created a hybrid application by mixing Cordova with Backbone to overcome many obstacles related to developing hybrid applications.
- Developed several plugins for Cordova, including a GPS tracker that runs in the background without compromising battery life.
- Built the back-end in Django, modifying the standard architecture to be a fully REST server.
- Configured a dynamic media server on Amazon S3 with Django to support security for the users' media.
- Led a team of software engineers that were added to the project.
Experience
Senior Unity Developer
https://neuroscape.ucsf.edu/researchers-ace/As the new developer in charge, Oliver migrated the original prototype from Objective-C to Unity in a couple of months. Since Neuroscape initially expected the development time and costs to be way higher, they decided to use their remaining budget to extend the project's scope, including new features, tasks, and UI.
The biggest challenge was to display and capture precise and normalized data across several devices. The researchers would then use this data to support scientific research that would be pair-tested.
Metaverse for Company Employees
The platform needed to support thousands of concurrent users distributed among rooms with up to 100 users per room. There was also a concert-like room where 1-5 particular users could broadcast to an audience of more than two thousand spectators—the experience needed to support VR and PC interfaces.
I designed the system's architecture, including game servers, load balancing, logic servers, and databases. I also implemented and optimized the replication of the actors in the rooms and implemented the core features of the multiplayer VR.
ArkZ - Tactical Shooter Against Monsters
Interactive Arquitectural Visualization with HTC Vive
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RsBfeHM6f-4This project took three weeks, and the end result was a VR simulation using the HTC Vive headset, where users can change the structure's materials and add furniture.
My job was to program the interactivity, compose the scene, specifically lighting and post-process, and direct artists during the generation of the required assets.
Locos por las Canchas
I designed and implemented the native iOS and Android apps. I used Mixpanel, Oliver, and LpC's founders studied the analytics data and ran A/B testing. This maximized up to 300% user conversion over four months.
With systems in place to track and catch errors, the apps failed in less than 2% of the clients after launch. I pinpointed and quickly fixed the errors, and crashes, then tracked incompatible device models and removed them.
Fanbase Sports Media
The team found his broad skills and expertise so valuable that they asked me to help with styling, analytics, and data analysis, which he tackled efficiently and effectively.
Lead Web Developer
My expertise in web architecture was essential in setting up the project with NextJS, and I also implemented some of the UI interactions. My graphics programming skills also proved valuable to the team, as I helped with shaders and optimizations for ThreeJs.
Unfortunately, due to the crypto crisis of 2022, the investors ultimately canceled the project. Despite the outcome, my contributions were critical to the project's development.
