About Me

I'm in the journey of someday becoming a renowned Game Designer! For the time being though, discovering new places and meeting new people has become a priority, although i still work as an active freelancer

Sporadic Scuba and Free Diver, Wine-Enthusiast and a long-time Tolkien Fan with a particular interest in the study of Body Language and Social Encounters

[SPA]

Estoy en el viaje de algún día convertirme en un renombrado diseñador de juegos! Por el momento, descubrir nuevos lugares y conocer gente nueva es una prioridad, aunque sigo trabajando como freelancer activo.

Buceador esporádico y buceador libre, entusiasta del vino y fanático de Tolkien, con un interés particular en el estudio del lenguaje corporal y los encuentros sociales.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I've managed to obtain a new job opportunity. Within the next days i'll be traveling to Coquimbo Chile and i'll probably be needing someone to help me out, at least for the starting days

He obtenido una nueva oportunidad laboral y debido a lo inesperado de la ocasión, me tomo completamente por sorpresa y no estoy completamente preparado. Tener a alguien que me pueda alojar por los primeros días seria increíble.

Music, Movies, and Books

Alien, Aliens, A Few Good Men, Atlantis the Lost Empire, Batman: The Dark Knight Returns, Iron Man and Tropic Thunder are some of the movies that i tend to re-watch.

For music, i mostly stick to instrumental works and soundtracks from my favorite media: The Legend of Zelda, Lord of the Rings, Elder Scrolls and such. Aside from that i gravitate towards medieval music, specially played on the guitar. My favorite composers are: Hans Zimmer, Howard Shore, Jeremy Soule and Koji Kondo.

Not much of a book reader to be honest, most of the stuff I've read in the past AND read from time to time is more akin to technical/theory-centric works. Fundamentals of Game Design by Ernest Adams, a few Allan and Barbara Pease books and such. For more recreational reads the works of Tolkien can be added to the list.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have yet to do a mind-blowing, amazing thing with my life but i feel pretty proud of getting a position as a Game Developer in the Chilean industry with no proper background. My time at Benerot as a Technical Assistant was quite an achievement to me.

Todavía tengo que hacer algo "Increíble" con mi vida, pero me siento bastante orgulloso de haber obtenido una posición como desarrollador de videojuegos en la industria chilena. Mi tiempo como asistente técnico en Benerot fue un considerable logro para mi

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love to share the underwater world with people who have never done any scuba diving, so there is that. If you have a crappy or malfunctioning computer you won't have to say a word and i'll be checking it out.

I can even help you out with your starting business! I've worked as a salesman and manager on several occasions.

[SPA]

Me encanta compartir el mundo submarino con personas que nunca han buceado anteriormente. Si tienes una computadora en mal estado, no tendrás ni que pedírmelo y ya le estaré dando un vistazo

Incluso te puedo ayudar con tu nuevo negocio/proyecto. He trabajado como vendedor y administrador en distintas ocasiones.
