About Me
Carlos is a multi-disciplinary generalist with a focus in music, audio, and sound design. Even beyond that, he’s a talented programmer, game designer, media and video editor, and 3D artist and animator. Above all else, however, Carlos loves to teach and to work with children! He believes GameU is the perfect place to simultaneously teach his passions and hone his own skills – all while staying “young and goofy” with his students.
In his free time, Carlos enjoys creative coding, movies, musical theater, and cooking.
