I am Victor

Developer

I am a Game Developer currently located in Seattle. I have 11+ years of experience developing content for multimedia software ranging from telecommunication applications to video games. I am equipped with a versatile skillset and have a constant thirst for learning. I am always going beyond my comfort zone to pursue new skills, but as an avid learner, I'm never content with just skimming along the surface; I will always take the extra step to dig deeper and understand the subject.

If you think we can work together, do not hesitate to contact me.

My Skills

Art Skills

While my primary focus in terms of video game art has always been 3D, I am also very proficient with texture, user interface and particle effect creation.

3dsMax / Maya / Blender / Zbrush / Substance Designer / Substance Painter / Topogun / Photoshop / Illustrator / Affinity Photo / Affinity Designer / After Effects

Coding Skills

From building tools to maximize productivity and efficiency to implementing gameplay mechanics, I am quite comfortable adapting to the needs of the projects.

C# / C++ / Python / Javascript / MaxScript / MELScript / PHP / HTML5
