MSc, Research Fellow

Unity3D and videogames specialist

I was born in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria in 1987. I studied Computer Sciences at ULPGC and completed a master’s in videogames design and development. Since 2012 I’ve been involved in creating videogames specializing myself in Unity3D game engine and highly audiovisual web technologies.

I worked for 4 years as a game designer and programmer of several educative games on Little Smart Planet, an educative games startup focused on the gamification of Spanish education curriculum. In 2015 I funded my own commercial brand «Daydream Software» (www.daydreamsoftware.es) to create and publish my own videogames as Spheria for PC-Steam and eCrossminton for PS4/PS5, Nintendo Switch, and PC-Steam.

I strongly believe that the videogames have the power to change the way we learn and communicate. I am committed to bringing the power of interaction and fun of videogames to every discipline as education, science, or arts in order to make people learn and solidification knowledge and culture by enjoying digital experiences.

These days with tons of cloud services, specialized software, new devices, and ways of interaction as VR, AR, MR, Haptic devices… We are at the gates of a new digital era where the users can feel and be part of the digital world in a more native and natural way. This expands the possibilities of learning and communicating to unexpected horizons that I am excited to be part of, with my contributions, of that digital evolution.
