About Me

Christian is a skilled game developer, coder, graphic designer, and motion graphics editor, with more than eight years of experience in the Unity game engine and an extensive background in multiple programming languages. Likewise, he is a dedicated teacher and instructor, noted across his various teaching positions at his university for the initiative and effort that was key to his students’ excellent transition from in-person to virtual classes at the beginning of 2020. Christian has brought this same dedication and determination to his career at GameU, driven by his ultimate passion: helping those interested in fulfilling their aspirations through art and technology.

In his free time, Christian enjoys making (and playing!) games and videos, acting, reading, singing, and more.
